I don't know exactly what this implies, but when I run xvinfo, it
tells me the maximum XvImage size is 2048x2048.
Anyhow, I manage to work around the problem by writing a start-up
script for mythfrontend and don't use xv.
#! /bin/bash
export NO_XV=1
sudo nice -n -2 mythfrontend
It's not perfect, but at least watchable.
