I think I may have the answer to this.

Did you modify the GUI x/y position and size?

I found I needed to do that since I have a 1.6 XBox with the newest
video chip, so overscan doesn't work for me.  I needed to resize the
MythTV screen to be smaller than the actual desktop size for it to fit
right.

Basically, you need to disable the XBox IR mouse emulation.

Here's a thread from the archives about this problem:

Good luck,
