I *think* this may apply to the IVTVDEV X driver only (seems like a rather
large mistake otherwise ...)

We wait until the 350's overscan is controllable - run Myth in a window or
without KDE to try and get around this problem.

Because the desktop is much smaller at 720x480 the panel takes up more
space. Following on from the reply to your messages about running in a
window, right above that is the info:

2.0. Fire up kcontrol:
2.0.1. Go to Desktop->Panels->Hiding

2.0.1. Set "Hide Mode" to "Allow other windows to cover the panel"


This should sort things out. Other things to look at are focus issues if
using other Myth modules and focus is not returned to MythTV afterwards. You
can search for how to resolve this on the list (asked often)

Cheers,
Nick
