[ATrpms-users] GLX problem when loading mythtv

[Anders Hedegård]

Sry for the long waiting time.

So, nvidia-helpers was already installed as a dependencie with the driver.
Tried removing everything that said nvidia, and then reinstalled it - still
no luck.

I the found some guy saying, that SELinux might be the problem, and yes -
disabling SELinux mayde my GLX work like a charm...

Just gotta find out now what policy in SELinux thats causing the problem.
