[mythtv-users] mythtv detects wrong maximum screen resulotion?!?!?!

["José Tomás @ Chico"]

Hi!

Just contributing...

It's done, after more googling and readings over mythtv.org>wiki I found 
the articles:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6083159
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/ATI_Proprietary_Driver#Garbled_Screens_with_OpenGL_Painter

But more precisely I did the following:

on  /etc/mythtv/session-settings I did put:
MYTHFRONTEND_OPTS="--geometry 1920x1081"

and removed from the mythvideo command for mplayer to play files the 
default argument "-vo xv".

Also have to choose a television playback profile that have Standard 
(ffmpeg) & xlib.

So, I'm a happy user with mythbuntu 8.10 in a ASUS P5Q Pro + Asus 
EAH3600 + MyCinema P7131.

Currently only do not have sound at coaxial, but is a issue related to 
the age of the board and distribution.
Driver for graphics is the nearest to manufacturer, the other drivers 
doesn't give me a to much fluid TV image.

With the 8.04 untus I did compile mboard's possible driver packs and 
installed graphics with no problem, but since 8.10 buntus give more or 
less support for this hardware on inst... 8.10 it stands.

Thanks!
Tomás
