I use an NVidia GeForce 6600 dual head and I boot my Mythfront end on
display :0.1 (the secondary DVI out)
I use:
DISPLAY=":0.1" mythfrontend
in my /etc/inittab (and I have used it on the command line as well)
As for the blue, perhaps the xorg.conf set up for the nvidia card is not
right for the overlay buffer?
I can post my xorg.conf settings if you like?
