[mythtv-users] X over PVR-350

There was a bug introduced that caused it to always use /dev/fb0 so if your
fb device was something else then it could have this effect. Changing the
fbdev option to ivtv fixes that problem. 
I will be creating a new ivtv driver to fix this problem and check the
device properly in the near future.
