You should set this to at least "8" though "16" would be better.
MythTV struggles with just 8 surfaces because it uses XvMC for
compositing the OSD.

Hmm, I don't know why this would happen, but someone on the x.org
mailing list might know. If you have multiple displays, such as
the d-sub on a laptop, it is possible that only one display supports
XVideo. With the nVidia hardware/drivers XVideo is often not
supported on the second display, or only partially supported on
the second display; which display is the "second display" is often
surprising.
