[mythtv] non-Xv display support in CVS.

I'm trying to use the non-Xv mode for MythTV.

The output I get when I click on "Watch TV" is an "X
Error: Bad Value," a few "X Error: Bad Window"s, then
the falling back to non-Xv info, finally "shmget
failed:: Invalid argument" and a segfault. (I can give
more details if you need them.)

I'm using the fbdev in mandrake 9.1 on a radeon.  Is
there something I can do to get this to work?

MythMusic/MythGallery work fine.

Thanks,
Andy
