Just wanted to follow up on this... for anyone who's got the same 
problem.

Going back to stock (like Isaac's system) made sense, so I tried that 
with RH9. No luck. Then I went back to the bleeding edge. I'm running 
kernel 2.4.23-pre4-epia2 and CLEXF40030 (CLEXF40032 doesn't work at 
all, even non-accelerated). Still no luck - HW decoding doesn't work 
and I still get a lot of garbage on the screen when exiting TV or 
mplayer. I've officially given up. If anyone gets this working, I'd 
very much like to know how.
