I don't know exactly why, since yesterday my frontend crashes if I want
to watch TV

the  frontend logs:

* Couldn't find Xv support, falling back to non-Xv mode.
* MythTV performance will be much slower since color
* conversion and scaling will be done in software.
* Consider upgrading your video card or X server if
* you would like better performance.

You likely won't get any video.

I have a not touched 0.17 which worked since it was released without a problem.

Any ideas why I get this error about the color key ? why it crashes ?
