[mythtv-users] GeForce 2 GTS tv out

[Owen B. Mehegan]

Thanks Albert, that works perfectly! One thing that's a little weird is
that the image I get on the screen now is not wide enough. It meets the
top and bottom of the screen, but there's about a 1" wide bar on the
left and right sides of the image. This is an X issue, as I see the
desktop that way, not just Mythtv. Does anyone know how I can tweak
this?
