[mythtv-users] Screen Positioning

[Chris Martin]

Hey all,

 

I can't begin to describe how much this list has helped me in the last two
weeks. Thanks goes out to all of you! ;)

 

Well, after about 5 Debian installs, 4 Ubuntu installs, a brief relapse to
XP, and one Fedora Core 2 two install, I finally found a winner with Fedora
Core 3. It just worked and Jared's guide was the frosting on the cake.

 

My hardware goes like so:

 

Gigabyte K8NS

nVidia 6600 GT

PVR 250 rev. 980(?)

Maxtor 30GB PATA (for the OS. I probably don't need this after getting FC3
working.)

Maxtor 300GB SATA (for myth stuff man!)

512MB DDR400

IRBlaster from irblaster.info

And a nice SilverStone LC-10 case.

 

Everything that I've had the chance to screw with is running really great.
Except the TV screen is never filled all the way. I always have large black
bars on the right+left and smaller black bars on the top+bottom.

 

I've adjusted the TV overlay using nvidia-settings, but with too much of
that, I'm just cutting off GUI space and not really changing to way the
image fits the TV. Is there anything I may be missing here?

 

I'm including the relative parts of my xorg.conf for further reference. I
pulled the "Monitor" section from the archives here.

 

TIA,

Chris
