/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.

Interesting, I started with 1 and saw this in the logs:
(**) I810(0): 1 XvMC Surfaces Requested.
(--) I810(0): Using 6 XvMC Surfaces (Minimum Allowed).

So, I moved to 10 and saw this in the logs:
(**) I810(0): 10 XvMC Surfaces Requested.
(--) I810(0): Using 7 XvMC Surfaces (Maximum Allowed).

So I just set it to 7. Do you know, is 8 surfaces the minimum for MythTV?

/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.

The motherboard that I am using does not have a second (physical) video port. 
(anecdotal: When I was running XP on this box it did not allow for dual display
that leads me to further believe that it does not support a second display)

Thanks for the input...
