I see the same thing. A few weeks ago I traced this problem down to a
failure in VideoOutputXv::SetPictureAttribute; one of the X or Xv
calls is failing.
The caller TV::DoChangePictureAttribute does not check for the
sentinel "-1" return value; hence you see "-1" in your OSD.
I don't know why the X/Xv calls are failing. Too many things have
happened since this was last working (distro/X.org upgrade, kernel
upgrade, NVidia driver upgrade, etc.).
