<div dir="ltr">I too have the same issue. I just did a clean install of 8.04 with the recommended patches. I installed Mythtv before using the ATI drivers and everything worked well. I downloaded version 8.8 catalyst, did the --buildandinstallpkg option as per release notes and everything seemed ok until I ran MYTHTV. When I ran mythtv at default for my display (1440x900) I got the problem you guys are experiencing (missaligned/pixelated). If I specify --geometry 1439x899 it works fine inside the GNOME display with top and bottom menu bars showing...<br>

</div></div>Hey,<br>
I have the same motherboard in my frontend but am using Ubuntu 8.04.<br>
Using ATI's 8.7 drivers I have this exact problem, but I didn't have<br>
it using 8-3 or 8-6. I still have curruption on channel changes<br>
between resolutions (SD to HD and back) but escaping back to the menu<br>
and going back to the tv fixes it.<br>
I had tried 8-7 to fix the above issue but rolled back because it<br>
introduced more problems than it fixed for me.<br>
I haven't tried 8-8 yet, hoping though.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
