[mythtv-users] tv-out Fonts?

I hope this makes sense:


I have just got the tv out of my geforce4 440 mx
thank to a wonderful little program called "Yanc" (do a web search)
it helped config the tv out option for the XF86config-4  file
 My problem is that the screen size of the tv will only take 800x600 
making the text hard to read
The recording and live tv quality are fine (well as fine as an 
unamplified cable splitter  can be)
If I set it to anything larger the screen is  like haveing a virtual 
screen with half of it un viewable
the computer monitor is set to 1024x768 those font are also very small
When I was running  1152x864 on just the monitor the fonts were much larger
and easier to read I just could not get this size on the tv.


So, the question is :
Is there a way to make the screen fonts larger  or do I have something 
misconfigured in my
XF86config-4 file?
I have taken out the 75dpi fonts line, that did not work
aside from that it is the generic XF86config-4  except for the twin view 
section.
1024x768 onthe computer monitor and 800x600 on the tv is all I can seem 
to squeeze out
If I go to anything higher X will not start

If you have a working XF86config for the Geforce 440 mx card I would 
love to see it.
Any pointers are welcome
