It was cured by adding<br />"-geometry 1920x1080" to the mythfrontend command. I'm pretty sure I've<br />read on here that that couldn't possibly work because it is effectively<br />the same as putting the value in setup -> appearance.

Loading mythfrontend with the --geometry option unfortunately didn't work for me and caused some very strange behaviour with screwy desktop sizes and mythfrontend loading off to the side of the desktop.<br /><br />It turned out that I still had a 720p resolution set as the default in nvidia settings (I had deleted xorg.conf). Changing these to 1920x1080 solved the problem.<br /><br />Now all I have to do is check that I still have all my refresh-rates intact (separate mail).<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />Marius<br /><br /><br />
