Hi everybody,

I'm a new MythTV user, I just finished setting up all the stuff and it works
:)

I just have some minor problems. The most annoying is this one is the
following :

When watching TV, the image is shifted up by 3 centimeters on some aspect
ratios (see screenshots).

At the bottom, a horizontal bar appears. It is not black, it contains a fix
picture (the content of the graphic memory when the aspect ratio changed).

"4:3" , "16:9" , and "16:9 stretch" work fine.
"4:3 zoom" and "16:9 zoom" have this problem
"Fill" has the problem most of the time (depends on the channel resolution
if it is wide or standard, it works when it is wide)

FYI, my computer's screen is a 16:10 widescreen.

I'm sure that fgrlx is partly responsible for this, I don't have this
problem with the "radeon" driver.
I cannot use "radeon" again because it hard crashes my computer.

I just need a hack to allow me to use the "fill"  aspect ratio with all
channels. I hate "16:9 stretch" :)
Please ask me if you need extra information !

Cheers,

Rayene,
