[mythtv-users] PVR350 X Session Too Big (and 3 panes)

[Michael A. Howell]

Okay everyone - Hopefully I can add some value to some other noobs out
there.  I know have a perfect X display on my TV.  I never did change
anything in my XF86Config.  I just moved forward with Jarrod's HOWTO using
my monitor connected to my video card.  I went all the way through
"Configure Automatic Startup" (stopping before "Configuring MythTV add-ons"
(just have not got to it yet).  Once I was done with this, I downloaded
Jarrod's XF86Config-PVR350.txt once again (I lost it when converting to
XFS), changed my BusID, copied it to XF86Config, and restarted X via
CTRL+ALT+BCKSPC and it X cam up on my TV beautifully.  Now I hope it holds
when I eventually re-boot.  BTW I did not change any of the mythfrontend
Appearance settings as of yet (They are all still 0).  It worked without
doing this,

Thanks,
Mike
