Hi,

        Ok... I will post in the wiki too, but first here. Last week I built 
another freevo box, and since this motherboard was short on PCI/AGP 
slots, instead of use a video card with TV out, I bought a "pc-to-tv" 
converter (pixelview game show).
        I was used to use freevo on my desktop with a regular monitor, so it 
was a surprise when I pluged this new machine to the Tv and found the 
image being "cut" at top and bottom. After a lot of try and error with 
Xfree86 confs, I thought about trying the freevo.conf! And it works... 
hm... strange... I always thought that freevo on X11 would respect the 
X11 configurations!

        What I did:
                X11 configured to 800x600 - freevo.conf to 800x600 = image cut 
(the 
image is ok with a window manager)
                X11 configured to 800x600 - freevo.conf to 640x480 = works!!!
                X11 configured to 640x480 - freevo.conf to 800x600 = image cut
                X11 configured to 640x480 - freevo.conf to 640x480 = works!!!

        I tried other values in freevo.conf like the ones from NTSC or PAL 
(strange ones like 648x486, 720x480, etc... all of them shows some kind 
of problem or distortion).

        My guess is that problem has something to do with SDL, but... who 
knows?

  Something mysterious is formed, born in the silent void. Waiting alone 
and unmoving, it is at once still and yet in constant motion. It is the 
source of all programs. I do not know its name, so I will call it the 
Tao of Programming.
