[mythtv-users] Garbled X on PVR-350 TV Out

I am trying to get X running on the PVR 250 TV Out.  I seem to have all 
of what is supposed to be there, but it is all garbled.  Sometimes the 
middle two thirds of the screen are shifted over about 30%.  Sometimes 
items don't get drawn over when changing to a different part of the myth 
menu.  When you move the mouse around the screen everything gets really 
messed up (not sure how else to describe this).

The video actually works great.  I can watch live TV, or a recording 
with no problems.

I am using FC2, and installed everything using Jarod's guide.  These are 
the RPMs that are installed:

kernel-module-ivtv-2.6.8-1.521-0.1.10-47_pre2_ck100zz.rhfc2.at
ivtv-0.1.10-47_pre2_ck100zz.rhfc2.at
ivtv-firmware-2.02.023-3.at

and I compiled the msp3400 module manually from 
ivtv-0.1.10-pre2-ck113e.tgz to get the sound working.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Here are some log outputs:
