Nicer than any tvout on any vid card I've ever seen... would you agree? Just a quick question... did you use a crystal for the 3.58MHz color subcarrier? Is that the trimmer cap you're talking about? I had a bugger of a time getting it calibrated, as I don't have a spectrum analyzer. I did have an RF generator, though. I ended up setting it by tuning up 3.58xxxMHz into the RF generator, using it for scope sync, and trying to "freeze" the output of my card.

   You all are making my head explode!

IIRC, the DisplaySize is supposed to be units, not pixels... like inches or cm. The ratio of them will set the aspect ratio mplayer/mythtv uses to play, but it's also used to calculate the dpi of the Xserver. Now that I RTFM, I see it's in mm. Try different values (in the same 4x3 ratio) and see if you can get the scaling right. I seem to remember I had to set Mythtv to use extra-large fonts.

Yeah the units is in mm. What I like to do is figure out what DPI I want (usually 75) then calculate DisplaySize depending on the resolution I want to run.
mm = Pixels * 25.4 / DPI
For example, if I have a 1680x1050 display, and I want 75 DPI:
1680 * 25.4 / 75 = 569mm
1050 * 25.4 / 75 = 356mm
(of course this could be simplified to just pixels * 0.339)

Use xdpyinfo to check you're getting the values you expect if the fonts look wacky.
