[mythtv] XvMC Issue with latest CVS

I'm seeing the following issue with current CVS.  XvMC has been working 
for me on version 0.18, but is broken now.  I am running Mandrake 10.1 
Official and the latest NVIDIA drivers (7664) on my fx5200.  For both 
builds I am using:
./configure  --enable-proc-opt --enable-dvb --dvb-path=/usr/include 
--enable-dvb-eit --enable-xvmc --enable-opengl-vsync --disable-xvmc-vld

The other odd thing is that when I exit the frontend from CVS I always 
get a segmentation fault.  I do not get that with 0.18

I'll be happy to provide any more information you would like.
Thanks.

This is my frontend output from 0.18 (working).

This is my output from latest CVS (6/3/2005)
My DISPLAY environment variable is:
DISPLAY=:0.0
so I suspect that is not the problem.
