I had this problem as well with my PVR350 and TV Out on Fedora Core 4.
Here are some things to try:
I followed the following document for setup:
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php?
SID&expandables=closed&ivtv=open&pvr350out=open
If you use Fedora Core 4, there is a paragraph about a bug in "urw-
fonts" package in Fedora Core 4 - this helped somewhat Search for
"urw-fonts" in the above document.
Next, in the documentation from the mythtv site:
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html
I followed the directions under "MythTV Dimensions" and played around
with the x/y sizes and offsets and it fixed the screens and things
seem to work.
I also made changes some as per the section on "Overscan Dimensions".
Hope it helps,
Rajeev.
