I had *exactly* the same problem: After upgrading to cvs everything
except the osd was working just fine.  It turned out to be simple to
fix.  I was usign the Titivillus theme and for some reason after
upgrading to cvs the osd theme was set to "abstractosd", which on my
system doesn't exist.  Simply changing this in the setup screens
(under Setup->TV->Playback) to Titivillus-osd fixed the problem.

Probably mythfrontend should have a different behavior when it can't
find the osd theme (perhaps it should use defaultosd in that case)
instead of simply disabling osd altogether.
