Comment 3 for bug 229949

I am also having the same problem.

I tried both the mythfrontend -v all command and the opengl in appearances.

The OpenGL did not help at all.

Running mythfrontned -v all works, but only if your run it from a terminal shell.

I tried to create a launcher for mythfrontend using the mythfrontend -v all command, but the guide returned to its unusable slow state where it takes forever for it to respond to the keyboard.

here are my logs and dmesg...
