[mythtv-users] Missing Xv?

I have that option already selected in my setup.  I looked at the log for the frontend because I only get sluggish video playback from my pvr-350 (see "prebuffering pause" in the frontend log) .

I do have X and the MythTV GUI showing on my TV, so it seems the TV-Out is mostly Ok.  It just seems MythTV is not using the encoder on the TV-Out.

Any thoughts?
