Thanks for the reply Sander. To be clear, X starts fine - this happens
only when attempting to play back video.

Only after I start playback. I don't understand why via stuff is
involved at all unless it's something on the motherboard - the via
graphics adapter really shouldn't be involved that I understand.

Hmm

allmanj at mythtv:~$ cat /proc/fb
0 cx23415 TV out

But this doesn't surprise me - X is starting using the tv out on the
pvr 350. One thing I have noticed that is different between this
install and the previous install is that I get console output to the
tv before X starts. I don't know if this is relevant (nor do I know
how to disable it).

Thanks,

John
