Unbeliveable - that worked for me. I have a HD 3200 with the
fglrx(2:8.723.1-0ubuntu5) driver and I had always the problem with the
opengl themepainter (menus and tv did not appear, no error messages). I
tried to set the resolution 2 pixels lower in the settings and it worked.
The only problem is that mythtv does not run in fullscreen mode then - the
xfce taskbar (mythbuntu) is always visible. That solution is sadly not the
best - I think I will still have to go with the -O UIPainter=Qt solution :\

Summary: OpenGL -> No menus and no tv unless you set the resolution 2 pixels
less -> but no fullscreen then
Qt -> works only with "-O UIPainter=Qt" solution

Does anyone know a better way to fix that problem?

Greetings
