There's a GRANT command in one of the setup scripts that sets up the
database for the mythtv user. On Mandrake 9.0, you need to use

% mysql -u root < mc.sql

for the initial setup. A lot of stuff is assuming that you're the
mythtv user, with mythtv as the password, so it might be good to add
that user to your system and run everything as the mythtv login.

I'm using 3.2 on MDK 9.0. Seems to work ok. Not sure about
optimizations, but at least the code doesn't appear majorly broken.

Saying the extension is loaded doesn't mean that support's there.
If you run 'xvinfo', you'll get something of the same message -- 'no adaptors
present' or something like that. Basically, your video card (or at least the
driver) doesn't support the output method mythtv uses.

That doesn't matter. Creating the database creates a mythtv user, which
anything that has access to the mysql.txt settings file can connect to it.

You'd have to recompile Qt (and anything else that depends on it) if you're
using Debian and wanted to compile mythtv using gcc 3.2.

The latest bash is not broken, though there was one version which was. If
your bash is broken, it is not the latest bash.

Yep, sure enough. I have an nvidia card; so I got their proprietary
driver and kernel module installed, but XVideo still didn't work. The
reason? I had to go into the BIOS and enable an interrupt for the card.
I never needed an interrupt for a video card before.

That would be good info for the FAQ IMHO. (you need XVideo, and possible
things to check if it doesn't work...)

I have MythTV working basically, but it's too slow, and I think my hard
drive is the reason. Despite being SCSI UW, it's only giving about 7.5
MB/sec read speed according to hdparm. Pathetic huh? And it's too
small anyway so I'll get a new one before I get serious about recording
video on that machine. But last night I overclocked the machine to see
if it would help, and then left it running MythTV; and this morning it
was in some kind of comatose state, so I will have to get it booting
again.
