I have a similar setup as you do, David.  The differences are that I have 
a PVR-500 AND PVR-250 and am running Fedora 5.  I was unable to use 
composite from that motherboard and ended up using S-Video to tolerable 
effect.  The only problem I have is that pure whites cast a dark(er) 
shadow across the screen.  This happens both in and out of Myth (
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/258392?#258392).

If you like I can forward you my setting when I get home tonight. 
Modprobe.conf, xorg.conf and what-not.
