It's a nvidia-free laptop: Compaq Presario v5000 from ~2006, with Intel 
graphics.  I've put a few more observations and speculations in the 
myth-users thread.  Prime suspect at present is an ffmpeg/mythffmpeg 
confusion; the relevant bits of the specfile have been there for a long 
time but myth code has changed.  That's why I tried the myth list, but 
as yet no response.  I think most of the changes were pre-0.26. though, 
and 0.25.3 worked for me;  it would probably affect builds for Fedora 17 
too, and I haven't heard of similar problems with either yours or 
rpmfusion.  I'm still puzzled that mythfrontend --version reports 
different compiler options for systems built from the same rpm  packages.

Thanks for your work on this, though.

Cheers,

John
