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! --David
