I'm using an FX5200, 8756 drivers with S-Video out and I'm getting  
color in the OSD.

[mythtv at mythtv ~]$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Xvmc
         Option      "XvmcUsesTextures" "false"

mysql> SELECT * FROM  settings WHERE value='UseChromaKeyOSD';

My hostname is mythtv, but I have a unique identifier on my frontend  
called livingroom. Wasn't sure which was right, so I added them both.
