You could try

mythfrontend -v gui

It looks like the problem may be opengl related. You could try starting
up with the qt painter instead, by using 

mythfrontend -O ThemePainter=qt

If this works and your frontend is OK, change it permanently in the
frontend setup, appearance, theme painter. Make sure also that you are
not using an Opengl video profile.
