[Bug 341898] Re: Mythtv frontend does not display any fonts

Hi Guys,

Ok, I've run a dist-upgrade today (3/4/09) at 1600CET, and Myth is still
broken. Using the DRI off option makes it work though. Then I added the repo
for the updated MESA and upgraded again. It installed the new package, but
Myth is still broken. Again however, with the DRI switched off under the new
version it works.

Any ideas?! :)

Bon
