Yes, this problem occurs with xine from the command
prompt, so I, too, am thinking video driver and/or
card.
It could be cooling. Would the video stop, yet the GUI
still be active if it is a cooling problem? In both
xine and myth, I get kicked out to the x-windows GUI,
where I can open windows, etc. I have this in an antec
overture case, which I am not very happy with. I can't
add fans. I am thinking about pulling a tuner card and
getting more room around the video card.
Here is my xorg.conf:

Section "Files"
# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note,
this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").
There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are
concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font
server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard,
modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example,
for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can
use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout
setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your
capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"

Note that according to my Xorg.0.log, it rejects my
modeline, but automatically configures one from the
