Bug Description
On my mythbuntu gutsy, after upgrading with apt-get to 0.21, I receive the following error when I try to play video (livetv, dvd, ... anything) with the Internal player:
/usr/bin/
This is probably due to the mythtv binary package being compiled so that it uses glXGetProcAddress instead of glXGetProcAddre
I'm going to try to compile the source package to see if that fixes the problem....

some info about the legacy nvidia drivers:
Package: nvidia-glx-legacy d-modules- 2.6.22 (2.6.22.4-14.10) 2.6.22. 4-14.10
Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team <email address hidden>
Architecture: i386
Source: linux-restricte
Version: 1.0.7185+
Description: NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org 'legacy' driver
These XFree86 4.x/X.Org binary drivers provide optimized hardware acceleration
of OpenGL applications via a direct-rendering X Server and supports the TNT,
TNT2, TNT Ultra, GeForce, and GeForce2 chipsets. AGP, TV-out and flat panel
displays are also supported.
.
This is the 'legacy' driver for older chipsets. Unless your chipset is
explicitly listed in the above paragraph, please use the nvidia-glx driver,
which is much more up to date.
.
To enable the driver, run "sudo nvidia-glx-config enable".
