Almost definitely graphics drivers issues--possibly exacerbated by
how you've configured MythTV.<br>
<br>
In other words, I'm betting you have the CPU+ Playback Profile Group
selected, and it's trying to use XvMC, which is crashing X. You
need to switch to Slim. mythfrontend settings,
Utilities/Setup|Setup|TV Settings|Playback, 3rd screen.<br>
