[mythtvnz] Ubuntu Dapper ivtv, X server crashing

[Graeme Woollett]

I'm running dapper 2.6.15-26 with nvidia driver version 8762 ivtv 0.44, 
and _any_ version of mythtv!   Since updating my machine recently (and 
the kernel, recompiling ivtv drivers) whenever I try to watch something 
on the backend machine the screen goes black, no sound and X no longer 
responds to the keyboard.  A reboot is the _only_ way to get it back.  I 
have observed this problem on an Athlon & a Celeron system.  Both need a 
reboot.
Everything worked fine until I did an update.  I have also tried 
ivtv-0.46 but get the same results.  Mplayer nicely shows the output 
from /dev/video0, when played back through myth everything turns to 
custard in full screen or windowed mode.  I have looked through the 
postings at ubuntu forums, some other people are having the same 
problem, but answers are not forthcoming...

Any ideas appreciated
