MythTV will only work properly with a width of 720, but you're running X at 616. If you're willing to build MythTV yourself, you can grab a recent svn version of the code & apply a patch to resolve this problem. It will also remove the need for the 'osd_compat=1' option. The patch will apply to 0.20 & 0.20-fixes, but requires a small change to allow it to compile.
