Are you using the PVR-350's TV out?  If so, make sure you're /not/ using 
the PVR-350 hardware decoder--instead use the PVR-350 Xv support.  Note 
that even then, the PVR-350 support may be causing issues.

If you're using the on-board ProSavage VGA, that may also be the problem.

Most likely it's video driver problems.  Can you test with a different 
video card?
