i'm having a similar problem to this one.... i think.   
setup:
PVR 350 w/ TV out

Behavior:
ON Startup.....
Computer boots up normaly
rc.local runs but cannot complete stuff becuase /dev/fb1 is not there
X crashes.
gdm does not start
...basically autostart all is dead....

I can then recover it by
manualy run rc.local again
startx
login (auto login doesn't work now)
start mythfrontend (KDE autostart didnt' work either)
