Yes, the osd is actually being displayed through X and hence to use it
(and the frame buffer BTW) you need it in your X86Config.

I have a 350 and a geforce2 card.  I have two displays :0.0 (the
monitor) and :0.1 (the TV)
If I run:

$ export DISPLAY = :0.0 && mythfrontend

tv out displays on the tv (this is governed ONLY by checking the
appropriate box in mythfrontend setup screen) and the osd displays in
the monitor.

If I run:

$ export DISPLAY = :0.1 && mythfrontend

everything goes to the tv and I'm left with a fully functional desktop
in the monitor (although it can get trick with which aplication has
focus)

I've attached my X-config file.
