I am experiencing the same very annoying problem (this is on an Asus 
Pundit using both SVHS and VGA outputs) the SVHS/TVout is rock solid but 
the VGA output loses sync on every buttonpress.
It has something to do with the screensaver being deactivated every time 
you press a button (what screensaver??)
if you dig deep enough into the forum archives you will find a 
mentioning of the problem.

I already tried recompiling MythTV frontend without the offending line 
but ended up with a binary which didn't want to run with my current 
setup. I'm using the latest KnoppMyth and it still has got this bug 
which apparently only shows up with the Sis chipset and on the VGA 
output. Maybe it is in the Winischofer X drivers.
On my old CRT monitor the screen just 'wiggled' a little but the LCD 
thinks it is being put to sleep and switches off momentarily, hence the 
black screen.

Indeed...

For viewing it is not a problem but skipping through the EPG for example 
is simpy unbearable...
