So... I'm fighting with my stupid ATI card (I really hate ATI vid
cards) on my multimedia computer.

Setup: Onboard ATI 1250 in a Asus P2 bookshelf computer, MythTV 0.21
from the repos (not the MythTV svn version), openSUSE 11.0, the latest
ATI Catalyst driver from 20 Feb, 2009

To start MythTV, I have to export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true
(otherwise the computer locks up solid after launching
mythfrontend.... this is a known problem with using ATI garbage
instead of a real video card.

To launch the mythfrontend I have to force ThemePainter=qt or the menu
transitions are so sloooooow that you fall asleep between each menu
move.

OK, so I have a running MythTV, and for the most part it works well.
The last problem surfaces in the DVD player.  If I put a DVD in the
drive and start it playing, it appears to start as normal... press 'm'
to jump to the DVD menu, and this is where the problems start:
  - animated menus never clean up, and they rapidly become an
unreadable mess as the animations are painted, but never unpainted as
the animation progresses
  - all sub-menus are invisible (eg language selection, subtitle
selection, chapter selection etc)

So.. has anyone managed to get MythTV working right on the openSUSE
repo version (0.21) with an ATI card?  Any tips or suggestions for
getting the DVD sub menus to show up?
