[mythtv-users] frontend only system has audio but no video

[Joe Votour]

Which Linux distribution are you using?  I've seen
this issue before, and I suspect that it's a bug in
the X server.  (I have personally seen this problem
using Fedora Core 2 at one point on a Matrox G400
card.)

Xorg 6.7 has some issues with memory allocation on
some video cards.  If it's the same issue, there's a
long thread about it here:
