Seconded. I a frontend up and running on FC6 now using the livna
drivers & MythTV 0.20-fixes from source. I'm recording DVB-T and
displaying it on a PAL 16:9 CRT using S/Video from an el-cheapo
FX5200. No problems except that when I use compiz for the cool
eye-candy, the top and bottom panels are still visible when using
MythTV (although xine & mplayer seem to fullscreen just fine). Here's
the xorg.conf:
