I really appreciate the help.<br>
<br>
My desktop is definitely running at 800x600. This is a 4:3
mode. There are other modelines defined, but as I said before I
didn't change anything in XF86Config-4 when I switched video
cards. I'll delete everything besides 800x600 to see if it makes
a difference. The Myth UI is running full screen.<br>
<br>
Let me try to clarify the problem.<br>
<br>
Desktop resolution is 4:3, displaying on my TV via s-video.<br>
I'm recording OTA HD.<br>
<br>
4:3 shows that were broadcast with 16:9 aspect ratio display with grey
bars on the sides. Changing Myth to 16:9 Zoom aspect ratio makes
it use the full screen. This is the behavior I expect.<br>
<br>
16:9 shows that used to take the full width of the screen with black
bars at the top and bottom now have 10-15% of the picture pushed off
the right hand side of the screen. Regardless of what aspect
ratio I tell Myth to use for display, some of the picture is always
lost. 16:9 stretch seems to be the closest to keeping all the
picture. With my old video card, I could leave the myth aspect
ratio set to "default" and I wouldn't lose any picture.<br>
