You're using a relatively old version of mythtv -- from the looks to me, the middle of november 2004. I was using that for a while and saw lockups where it would never display frame 1 of a video stream. After 0.17 looked something like stable, I moved my backend and the m10000 frontend to the CVS version and everything is now working like a champ.
For settings.pro, I'm using XV output. I left the mpeg-2 decoder related stuff commented out, and enabled native lirc and alsa. Everything else was left alone. For /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it's pretty much as the epiawiki and via areana howto's instruct.
