[mythtv-users] Only 1348 pixels out of 1360 with Intel X driver (and mythstream is weird)

Sorry for all the X whining I'm doing - I really only know enough xorg
to keep from drowning.

I mentioned in another thread that I've removed my nvidia card from my
myth box in favour of the on-board intel G33.  It was mainly a power
concern, and I was using the VGA on the video card anyway.

I've tweaked the xorg settings to get back to my 1360x768 display.
The modeline is taken from running "gtf" - my TV appears to be a lying
sack of dirt when it comes to EDIDs.

Now, with my nvidia card, the modeline worked fine, and I got full use
of the screen on my TV.  Using my o/b intel, the screen content looks
fine, but I'm missing 12 vertical pixels and one horizontal pixel.
I've shifted the image around through my TV, such that I've got 6
black pixels on each side.

I have confirmed that the TV itself is set to display at 1360x768
(been burned before), and that the GUI width/height is 1360x768 in the
Setup -> Appearance menu, with offsets of 0.

One other interesting, and perhaps relevant fact -- since I've switch
the cards, I can no longer switch a mythstream feed to full screen
while watching it. It plays fine in its little box, but if I press
"Enter" ti go to fullscreen - it goes black...and stays black even
when I send it back to it's little box.  Playing my regular videos
(which also use mplayer) work fine.

I've attached xorg.conf and xorg log (I didn't notice anything).  Can
anyone shed any light on this?

Much obliged
