I've been fighting with this for a couple of weeks now, ever since I got my pcHDTV3K. I have recompiled myth with debugging and ran mythfrontend with gdb, nothing. If I disable agp completely I can get it to work, so figured it may be the via chipset on my Abit VA-10. Went out and bought a new mobo with an nforce chipset, did a complete reinstall, built myth from source .17 and the same problem. Some hard lockups requiring a reset, box is pingable but otherwise dead, some softlockups where X is taking all the CPU cycles to say "SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0)" repeatedly. Looked on nvidia forums, and saw similar problems but no solution. At this point I've mucked around so much I probably should do a fresh install of everything.
