It sort of worked in 24 bit.

In my testing setup I ssh into the box and have the composite out
hooked up to a Plextor ConvertX TV-402U and I grab screens from that
to see if it is a "safe enough" output to hook up to the TV. I was
able to start X in 24 bit and start plating a video in Xine, which I
then grabbed the output from that to get the screen caps I linked to
previously.

When I tried it directly connected to the TV last night @ 24 bit, X
was stable (no rolling no apparent screen corruption) but in myth the
menus were unreadable and unusable as the text was garbled from the
overlapping.

Here is a capture of the main menu at 24 bit

One weird thing is that the video from xine and myth looks fine at 24bit.

I stopped X changed the default to 16 bit restarted X and the menu in
myth was fine and dandy.

Here is a picture of the main menu in Myth.

One thing that was not working in myth at either depth but did work in
Xine was the 1080i clip from Scrubs.
