If you use the i810 driver, there is a small patch referenced in the
ubuntu on a mac-mini intel wiki page:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_MythTV_on_an_Intel_Mac_Mini_using_Ubuntu#Viewing_HD_Material

that fixed the blue screen for me there.

I have a 965 in my new dell 1420N, and with the intel 2.x driver, I
don't need any changes to see 720p and 1080i.
