[mythtv-users] Ratpoison overscan

[papenfuss at juneau.me.vt.edu]

	Hello... I believe someone had mentioned this in a thread a few days 
ago, but I never saw any replies.  One problem with ratpoision as a WM is that 
it forces all windows to be maximized, full-screen.  That's great most of the 
time, but some video card combinations cannot reduce the overscan, so the 
top/bottom/sides of any terminal opened up for debugging purposes will be cut 
off on the TV.  I have emailed the author, but have so far received no 
response.  Any suggestions?

	I believe I have succeeded in scripting up one large encap package and
script that does *everything* necessary to fire up mythtv (assuming the kernel
and modules are ready to load).  It does root things as root, and user things
as a user with sudo.  It should facilite making a new myth box from scratch
without having to tediously go through a list of settings to check.  It runs 
bare X with ratpoison to reduce the overhead of GDM/KDM and all that 
unnecessary jazz.  If I could figure out this ratpoison thing, things would be 
good!

Thanks,
-Cory
