I have been struggling for a few weeks to get my NVIDIA TV-OUT working, and finally did so at the weekend (that's a whole different story of stupidity and RTFM).

I've set the TV picture to be a section of the picture the normal monitor-out sees (specifically, the upper-left portion).  The TV 'monitor' is set at 640x480, and I've set the FE to run at that resolution. 

With the FE running, all I see on my TV is Myth, but what I see on the monitor is exactly what you describe - Myth FE runs in the upper left corner of the screen, with the KDE desktop behind it.  It really does sound like something as simple as the FE resolution (isn't it always?)! 

Hope this is of some help, and good luck!

Sure enough, I'm a doofus!&nbsp; I must have hit the right arrow in the FE resolution width field so it went from 0 to 1.&nbsp; When the FE gets too low a parameter, it resorts to 640 x 480.&nbsp; (MythTV on a 1x0 resolution wouldn't be too useful, eh?)&nbsp; <br><br>Now all is well, and I got the GUI all lined up on my TV, too.&nbsp; On to the audio stutter item, remote setup, XvMC tweaking....<br><br>Thanks all.&nbsp; <br><br><b><i>Ed Haszard Morris &lt;mr.e.wid at gmail.com&gt;</i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> On 7/24/07, Peter A.
