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

[rick-myth at perlmonkey.org]

Hmm Well after I finished building KDE, I figured maybe the framebuffer
did get clogged with some screwy setup in all my testing so I just
rebooted, and X is coming up correctly (Except for it being bigger than
the screen, but i'm positive I saw that fix in the archives :P), so it
looks like you were right after all.. Thanks a ton.
