I just updated to the testing repositories in order to get VDPAU support. I'm having problems where, every few minutes, the screen will black out, then come back after a couple of seconds. Every time this happens, I see the following in the mythfrontend.log:
Code:

2010-02-01 23:20:19.402 NVP(1): prebuffering pause
I have a sparkle 9500GT PCI card. The drivers are the latest ones in the repositories (190.53). The system is a 2 Ghz P4 with 1 gig of RAM. I'm using the VDPAU Slim playback profile.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this issue?
