I can confirm that export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS="1" works for me.

However, I found out two other "workarounds". When I install xorg-driver-fglrx after logging in and neither restart nor run "aticonfig --initial" Mythtv runs perfectly. Of course I need to uninstall the fglrx driver before restarting the X-Server as my X1650 is not supported by ATI any more :-(

The second workaround which works most of the time is to start the frontend as one user, let the black box as is on the desktop, switch to another user and start the frontend again.

Maybe it helps to find the real problem...
