[mythtv-users] Guide too big / fonts too small

Hey,

Just started using MythTV/Linux following Jarod's guide on a fresh 
Fedora Core 2 install.  I have a brand new PVR350 card and the list 
archives have helped me with many issues related to the new 350's (like 
the new remotes not working, screen appearing in all green, etc..).

Anyways, I've adjusted my mythfrontend appearance settings to get the 
GUI to fit right, but the program guide and such during live TV don't 
seem to have these settings applied.  Worse, when I go back into the 
GUI after using the program guide, my offsets seem to get changed 
slightly.  Restarting the frontend puts them back.

How do I configure the size of stuff during live TV?  Also, why are the 
fonts in the program guide so unimaginably small?  It's totally 
illegible, where as the GUI stuff is crystal clear.

I'm very new to this xorg.conf stuff, I've never really used Linux 
before - I come from a Solaris background.  I'm using 640x480 mode in 
the monitor/screen section settings, and I've set DisplaySize 160 120 
under monitor section per some suggestions I google'd.

Thanks!
