I have a Dell Precision M60 laptop that has a 1920 x 1200 LCD panel. I
do have Myth installed on the laptop, but it's not my Myth box, since
it has no tuner card. The M60 has a 128MB nVidia Quadro FX Go700 video
card. I had all kinds of problems trying to use the open source "nv"
driver, but the official "nvidia" driver works perfectly. I don't have
any 1920 x 1200 video files, but if you have some video that you would
like me to test, I'd be happy to let you know if nvidia cards have
similar problems under linux. I can provide you with a temporary sftp
account on my box for uploading a file. I'd be curious to see how high
def video looks on my LCD panel anyways. Maybe it will sell me on a HD
card for my box :)<br>

This is a bug (perhaps a restriction) in your Xv driver. It's failing
to
<br>
deal with a source image 1920 pixels wide (probably is limited to 1600
or
<br>
so). I haven't gotten the time to try and figure out if this is
solvable

or if the only solution is to do software scaling (ouch).

Aha. Oh, just to correct myself, it isn't solid green; solid magenta is
more like it. Now that I think about it, none of the non-wide-aspect
channels had a problem, and the one wide-aspect channel that did work
was ABC, which is broadcast in 1280x720 around here, so I believe
you've got my problem nailed.

For the record, the video card is a Radeon 9000 Pro, using the
open-source radeon driver. I'll see what I can do about software-only
scaling (the card is currently in a dual Athlon MP 2000 system; I think
it ought to handle it <img src="cid:part1.04070204.01070105@vt.edu"
alt=":)" class="moz-txt-smily" height="19" width="19" align="middle">,
then try ATI's recently released driver, then if it comes down to it,
switch a GF4 card in (been meaning to try the Radeon w/my main MythTV
box hooked to the HDTV anyhow...). Thank you for your help!
