Yeah, that's what I *think* had when I was segfaulting. Note that it's
a little unclear to me. I just saw that listing in the Xorg.0.log file
and decided to believe that it was what Xorg was using at the time,
but how would I really know?

I'm attaching the xorg.conf file (renamed so you can download it
without overwriting anything) that I am currently using. mythfrontend
does not segfault on my system when I place this in /etc/X11. You'll
need to modify it by hand I suppose for your draphics adapter,
monitor, etc. Hopefully it will give you some ideas. I'm not saying
it's a great config file. Only that my system is not segfaulting when
I use it.
