</div></div>Are you using UseEvents True ?<br>
<br>
This generally reduces CPU load, but of course the question is if things were<br>
working initially, what changed?<br>
<br>
Did you upgrade your drivers or anything like that.<br>
<br>
I have noticed that chronic updaters (and I include myself) seem to get into<br>
trouble with MythTV a lot. Basically if it's working leave it alone,<br>
something hard for a lot of us Linux users :-)<br>

</blockquote><div><br> I've managed to leave the box well alone for a long while, last software change was when 0.21 was released. Last hardware change was a new power supply about 8 weeks ago. It was working fine on Friday as I was watching various recordings. I restarted the box on Saturday morning as it appeared very unrepsonsive.</div>
<div><br>My feeling is that some library or such has corrupted. Either that or it's a graphic card gone bad. It does seem to be whenever X tries to launch an application such as the frontend or mythwelcome. I've commented out the lines in the fluxbox conf file which starts mythwelcome, and X is Ok until I do anything.<br>
<br>I've popped the use events true in the Xorg,conf, and checked that there is plenty of disk space, even checked that the network is up - I'm stumped.<br></div></div><br>
