This has been mentioned already on the mailing list, but I'll include it here
for another hit when/if people search on the archives.  Use this to disable
OpenGL:

	mythfrontend -O UseOpenGLPainter=0

and this to enable (the default anyway):

	mythfrontend -O UseOpenGLPainter=1


The new -O option allows overriding of Myth internal settings for testing
and other purposes.  For instance a theme developer who normally runs in
4:3 mode at 800x600 on their development box could temporarily run in
16:9 mode at 800x450 by using the following command:

	mythfrontend -O GUIWidth=800,GUIHeight=450

You could tryout a new theme by using:

	mythfrontned -O Theme=blue

The 'key' in the key/value pairs is the settings 'value' in the settings
table in the mythconverg database, so you can look there for other
values that could be overridden.
