I'm running 32bit. I'm starting to think the problem is power management /
screen saver related. I was using the default Mythbuntu XFCE session which
I'm not familiar with, so I have switched to Gnome and will perfect the
settings there. I can't check yet tho - the Shortland Street Omnibus has
just started recording and WAF is already at an all time low ;-)

OSD is now FIXED. I just went into the Mytbuntu control panel and
uninstalled/reinstalled all of the themes. Working fine now.

Thanks again for your efforts. I for one am happy to wait for ffmpeg to be
updated, now that we have a testing release of Myth/VDPAU for Ubuntu that
just works.
