Hello,

I am playing with an EPIA board.  After some struggles
with gettiung X to run on the TV, I decided to try the
framebuffer mode. 

I have everything pretty much working (Freevo menu,
800x600 screen size, etc.), except when I play video
files, they are not played full screen.  Instead, they
are played in a small window that is centered in the
middle of the TV screen.

Would this be an issue with the framebuffer driver (I
am using the epiafb.o module from
<http://epia.sf.net>, although I am running under
'fbdev' in Freevo.  My frambuffer lines (the ones I
use to get into framebuffer mode) look like this:

  modprobe fbgen
  modprobe epiafb
  fbset -g 800 600 800 600 32
  /usr/local/epifb/tvout -b ntsc

The Freevo main menu itself looks pretty good (there's
just a small black strip across the top.  It's only
whne playing video files that I have an issue.

Any light you can help shed on this matter is
appreciated.  Or, if you require further info, please
let me know what you need, and I will see what I can
do about getting it for you.

Thank you, in advance.

Alan

P.S.: The main reason I want to try to continue to use
framebuffer mode isn't so much to do with my current
failure to get X Windows output on my TV.  It's more
to do with the fact that Freevo responds much quicker
in framebuffer mode than X Windows (from what I could
test when I was running it on the monitor).  However,
the skin colouring is *so* much more vibrant in X than
from frambuffer (in framebuffer, it looks kinda
aqua-coloured, and in X, it looks like a really
awesome blue!)

Out of curiousity, would performance under X be more a
function of CPU or RAM?  There's not much I can do
about the CPU, but I can add more RAM to the 128MB
already in there.

Thanks, again!
