Sounds like maybe the OP should change his Paint Engine to Auto, and is 
only seeing the white color of a blank window given to us by the system 
because the Qt painter is slow?

Paint engine
This selects what MythTV uses to draw. Choosing 'Auto' is recommended, 
unless running on systems with broken OpenGL implementations (broken 
hardware or drivers or windowing systems) where only Qt works.
