Greetings,

When I start X, it does go to my TV output, but it looks like a very poor
resolution and everything if off centered.  When I load mythtvfrontend, I
get the same results, however once I find watch live TV, it looks perfect on
the screen - video and audio.


Shouldn't I see X on the TV normally?  And not at a low resolution and off
centered.  This is what I have in my Xfree86.  Load glx is commented out,
btw, not sure if that matters.  I am using an ATI Radeon 7000 64 meg card.

Also I have it connected to a 32" NTSC Magnavox TV.  This is what I have in
Xfree86 (relevant information):

Anyone else get these results?  Any help would be appreciated.
