[mythtv-users] X over PVR-350 TV Out (possible or just a myth?)

I just rebuilt my system with FC3, a few days back and everything is
working except X via the 350's TV out.  Everytime I boot the machine X
hangs on startup.  I get a black screen with an "x" in the middle and
it just sits there.   Any help on this would be much appreciated. 
Here are the details:

Used Jarod's Guide

P.S.  You know that WAF that everyone talks about...... well lets just
say there's a cold front moving through my area and that ground hog
won't be seeing his shadow anytime soon unless this gets fixed!
