Thanks, it's a lot easier to work without a generator roaring away in
the background and occasionally running out of gas!

Ok, I must have compiled QT without OpenGL for some other reason in the
past and didn't realize it defaults to "on".  The only way that I see to
detect OpenGL support in QT is by running the following command:

nm -A /usr/local/lib/libqt-mt.so | grep -q updateGL

If the exit code is zero, then OpenGL is compiled into QT.  Perhaps I
can trash the slave port and just run that check in the MythTV Makefile.
  If OpenGL isn't detected, I can either exit with an error or disable
it and proceed.

Ok, sounds good.

Thank you for the feedback,
