Hi,

I don't know if this problem belongs to mythtv or ivtv. Anyway, I can see the 
videos with great quality, but the mythtv menus (and kde, firefox... 
everything but videos is "too expanded". I mean, I can't see the borders of 
the image because they are out of the tv. I'm running X.org (suse 9.3) with 
PAL system and a widescreen tv (16:9):

xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
       Identifier  "PAL TV"
       HorizSync  30-68
       VertRefresh 50-120
       Mode "720x576"
         DotClock 42.6
         HTimings 720 760 832 944
         VTimings 576 577 580 602
         Flags    "-HSync" "-VSync"
       EndMode
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier  "TV Screen"
        Device      "Hauppauge PVR350"
        Monitor     "PAL TV"
        DefaultDepth 24
        DefaultFbbpp 32
        Subsection "Display"
          Depth 24
          FbBpp 32
          Modes "720x576"
        EndSubsection
EndSection


Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier   "Layout[all]"
  InputDevice  "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard"
  InputDevice  "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer"
  Option       "Clone" "off"
  Option       "Xinerama" "off"
  Screen       "TV Screen"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
    Group      "video"
    Mode       0660
EndSection

Section "Device"
       Identifier  "Hauppauge PVR350"
       Driver      "ivtvdev"
       Option      "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"
       BusID "2:9:0"
EndSection

In mythtv there are some controls, I though that they could solve this 
problem, but they seems to do nothing (I read the mythtv documentation...).

What's the solution?
