I had a similar problem with the OSD and it turned out to be a
permission problem. I do a
chmod a+rw /dev/fb/2
and it works. (You'll need to change the '2' to whatever your frame
buffer device in.)
(A better solution might be to set the group on the device to 'video'
and set the rw permission for group and not other and add the
mythfrontend user to the video group, but I'll leave that for you to
decide.)
