You might want to check out a VNC program and connect that way.
You'll be able to run mythfrontend from a remote desktop and won't have
screen size issues. At least you'll have the keyboard.<br>
<br>
Howerver, you'll want to fix the screen size anyway. I think
there are two things to play with: Setup -> Appearance -> GUI
height/width/offset; and TV Settings -> Playback -> Overscan.<br>

<div>I am having a problem trying to navigate through the setup. For
example, in mythtv-setup, I am able to move to the desired fields using arrows
and tabs, but not able to use any pull-down menus. Is there a way to do
any or all of the following:
<div> </div>
<div>1. Use a mouse in the MythTV user and setup menus?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. Use a dual screen setup, where I can do the stuff on the monitor and
watch the TV on the TV. Alternately, can I at least get the non-graphical
terminal on the monitor? Right, it boots on the monitor and switches to
the TV and that is very hard to read. On the monitor all I see is a
blinking cursor.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3. Can I set up a telnet server on the myth box? If so,
how.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One other thing, I once helped someone else when they were setting up myth,
and I remember there was some configuration to change the screen sizes so parts
of it would not be cut off. Where can I change that? I have not been
able to find it since.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am newbie, so apt-get install is about as far as I can go for install
issues unless there is a step-by-step procedure for the task.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any help welcome,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanx,</div></div>
