[mythtv-users] Almost there.. PVR 350 w/ X TV OUT Problem.

[rick-myth at perlmonkey.org]

I have been scouring the internet for the last 5 hours or so trying to
find the solution to my problem.  I've got the ivtv drivers setup for my
PVR 350, and the input and output (via dd if=/dev/video0 of=/dev/video16
bs=64k) is working beautifully.  However when I start X (4.3.0) the
display on my screen is distorted.  It loooks as if it is horizontally
compressed, and mirrored, vertically the whole image isn't shown (streches
off screen).  I've tried just about every resolution I can think of as
well as frequency.  This is NTSC output, so no PAL options are holding me
back.  I haven't been able to find a single person that has a similar
problem. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
Rick
