I don't use Mythbuntu, but I am encountering the same issue on a fresh
install of Xubuntu.  Based on my experience and those reported in the
ubuntuforum.org thread previously by neutron68, it seems there are a few
critical thing we have in common:

*Nvidia video cards
*user-selected screen resolution due to faulty auto-detected settings.
*the presence of an xorg.conf file in liu of auto configuration by X
*XFCE as the desktop environment (both Mythbuntu and Xubuntu uses XFCE)


things that don't seem to matter:

*monitor type/model  (I have a ViewSonic CRT)
*upgrade vs. install (I didn't upgrade as some here did)
*OSS vs. proprietary X driver (I haven't used Nvidia's binary drivers)

my xorg.conf file was auto generated with "Xorg -configure".  With some
tweaks, I was able to eliminate one of the possible culprits (undetected
monitor - my ViewSonic PF790 is now being recognized).  Some of it
contains code that were cited previously as possible solutions (device
names/identifiers).  Unfortunately it isn't working for me.  My Kernel
is up to date and so is everything else to the best of my knowledge.
