Sounds like your OpenGL is screwed up/not enabled.  I have two 
MythFrontends, one is an Nvidia, OpenGL works great and all the screens 
look beautiful.  However, the other is an Asus Digimatrix that doesn't 
support OpenGL, when I tried to enable it on the frontend, I had similar 
results to what you are seeing.  On Gentoo, I had to use the eselect 
utility to set the OpenGL drivers to the NVidia ones before the screens 
looked good.   Not sure what distribution you are using....
