[mythtv-users] Problems with NVidia TV-OUT

[Ray Olszewski]

This thought is not specific to your card. I often (for the last couple of 
years) have trouble with 800x600 X displays not fitting the screen (in my 
case, a regular  14", 15", or 17" VGA display) properly. These same cards 
and X servers always work well at either 640x480 and 1024-768.

So see if you do any better with 640x480 ... normal TVs can't take 
advantage of 800x600 anyway.

Here today I tested both a Geforce2 (GTS 64 MB DDR 4x AGP) and a GeForce4 
440-SE, using the nVidia driver for both tests, and both worked very nicely 
with X and with Myth at 640x480. xv-based TV worked fine through Myth and 
through xine.
