Thanks John and Rusty for the info.

I used Rusty's suggestion about changing xorg.conf and it seems to
have worked.  However, I'm getting some occassional audio popping and
micro freezes (possibly prebuffering pauses, but I haven't checked the
logs yet) in the video streams that I don't get on my XBox.

So what exactly does that option do?  When using MythMusic, one of the
visualizations (I assume it is "gears") crashes mythfrontend with
"unable to resolve gl/glx symbols".  I don't know if it is related to
using the "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" or not - I suppose an easy way to
tell is to temporarily take out the option.  I guess my instinct says
it is unrelated.

In the longer run, I may also try John's suggestion of checking the
system BIOS for settings related to video/dynamic memory... but after
I first upgrade my machine from 128 to 256 so I have more "room" to
play with.

At any rate, I'd still recommend this system as a potentially good
Myth front-end... as long as you're willing to tinker!
