[mythtv-users] Playback problem

Maybe hard to understand my problem, or i'm the only one with this problem.

I found this in Xorg.0.log

(II) fglrx(0): Largest offscreen area available: 640 x 812

Don't know if it should be like that. But what i'm seeing when i try to 
watch
something could actually be something like that resolution.
But since i only have 480 in height i'm loosing almost half the picture.

Is the above value ok, and if not, how could i change some setting so i get
640x480? What values do other people have?

And it is only when i'm using Xv this problem occurs.

Subject: [mythtv-users] Playback problem


I recently got a problem with playback of every videofile or dvd. It could
have something to do with
my upgrade to the latest ATI drivers, but i'm not sure. Maybe there is some
setting that i have missed
that wasn't present in earlier ATI versions.
Anyway this is what happends.

To play a dvd i would use "mplayer dvd:// -vo xv -fs -zoom"
This worked perfect before. But now i get the picture in double size, and
therefore i only see the top half
of the movie. If i use "mplayer dvd:// -vo gl -fs -zoom" it plays in the
correct size, but instead it is very
jerky playback. So i really would like to use Xv, but dont know how to get
the right size of the picture again.

And yes, it is the same when playing a recording in MythTV, i only see the
top half, so in the bottom
half i have the OSD which i can't see. Kind of a problem.

Everything worked fine before. And the only thing i could think of is that
the new ATI drivers.
Maybe i have to add something more to xorg.conf that was not necessary
before?
I have tried to add DisplaySize to my xorg.conf but it didn't help.

Any suggestions?
