Attn Rob,

I'm aware that you use a projector for video out.  What output are you
using for freevo? I haven't seen any response on the email bellow.  I
guess I'm just looking for feedback on how to get freevo to tell its
apps to display to specific resolution( 852x480)?  The device itself
can be told whether or not it looking at widescreen content.

I have recently pruchased an epson LCD projector.  Native resolution of 852x480.

I'm using freevo 1.5.3.  I've configured freevo.conf for output
resolution of 852x480.

When freevo runs, it set the framebuffer to 960x720.  On the display,
the content is shows as 852x480 (therefore huge black bars around the
whole image).  fbset shows this:
---
mode "960x720-60"
    # D: 56.542 MHz, H: 45.598 kHz, V: 59.998 Hz
    geometry 960 720 960 720 32
    timings 17686 144 24 28 8 112 4
    rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode
---

This mode does not exist in my "/etc/fb.modes" file

When freevo calls mplayer, the mplayer image is displayer in the
topleft corner at the correct resolution, but the screen stays the
same size (if the pic is smaller than the screen size of 960x720).

I'm running a matrox g400 (currently by composite out, but soon to use
vga out).  Is anyone doind something similar that has any advice on
issues they discovered?

Questions I have:
a)  The screen resolution (852x480) is not in my /etc/fb.modes file,
how can I discover the timings etc to put it there?
b)  Will this fix the 960x720 screen size issue?

Cheers,
Mick
