I'm having a bit of a problem getting mythtv to play recorded full 
screen on a remote frontend.

Gentoo
XP 1600
512 Megs Ram
Geforce MX4000
0.20 mythtv-0.20_p11626
nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776

This is connected to a 27" TV via S-Video.

Screen Resolution is 720x480
Use the TV output options and specifying the S-Video format in the 
xorg.conf.

Everything is working fine except for one little issue.
I can't seem to make the video display full screen by default.  If I 
cycle through the available aspect ratios (w key) I usually settle on 
the "FULL" option to fill the entire screen. Previously I didn't have to 
change anything.  Just leave it at "OFF".
The GUI does work full-screen so I've ruled out xorg.conf issues.
All recordings are recorded in DVD quality at 4500-6000 kbs at 720x480.
I tried changing several options in the playback menu, use gui 
resolution, don't use gui resolution.  Tried settings specific 
resolutions per recording.  Tried the over-scan options, no good.  I've 
reset everything to default.  I've gone as far as to remove the frontend 
from the database and re-add it.  Still same narrow screen. Anyone else 
came across this issue.  This frontend has worked fine from 0.14 - 0.19. 
I'm at a lost with 0.20.  The main be/fe seems to work fine.

Thanks for any feedback.
