[mythtv-users] Problems that I just can't figure out...

[Shay - MythTV]

I recently upgraded to Fedora 1, from RedHat 9, and to the latest version 
of MythTV.  Everything went pretty well except for a couple problems.

The first is that I have a black border around everything.  I've tried at 
least a 100 different resolutions in my XF86Config and none of them seem to 
change the actual picture size.  The gui gets bigger or smaller.  It also 
gets bigger than whats being shown on the screen in some cases, but never 
in any case does the actual display size change.  I always have a black 
border all around the picture thats about 2 inches in size.  I have a 
GeForce 4 MX440 outputing via SVideo to a HDTV widescreen tv.  Its not the 
end of the world, but it is annoying.  I didn't have this before with 
RedHat and v13 of MythTV.

The second problem is that when I reboot and mythbackend starts up 
automatically as a service, I can't change channels.  I go to Live TV and 
its stuck on the same channel no matter what I do.  It also doesn't give me 
any channel information.  If I exit and shutdown the service, then restart 
it via command line, mythbackend &, everything works great.  Again, its not 
the end of the world, but it is annoying.  I'd like to not have to worry 
that if power goes out and the machine reboots, recording might not work.

I've done searching on both of these issues and nothing seems to match the 
problems that I am seeing.  If anyone has any ideas, I'd greatly appreciate it.
