Great! Thanks! > I find that the picture I get is not square - it bends in a little on both > sides towards the top of the screen. Anyone know how to fix this? Do > Matrox/NVidia owners get this? Hmmm. How pronounced is the problem? I've tried a few other TV outs (mostly nVidia variants), and there can be quite a large variance in quality & shape of output. ^_^ > I've now switched to using the ATI drivers which was relatively painless > but have heard of others having problems.

By move/resize, do you mean to affect the TV output? ie; to better centre the TV out on the TV, and to provide overscan to fill the TV view area as much as possible? > It's nice now having xv support but I have to say I never noticed too much > difference as I have a 2.6GHz P4 to take the strain. Does xv include hardware scaling, or is it just layering? I'm using a Celeron 2.2GHz, which you'd think wouldn't be too bad, but the on-board video doesn't have hardware scaling, and so it scales in software, which is noticeable for some high-res video clips. It also shows visible tearing, and the picture quality isn't too good. Overall, though, your response is quite comforting. Seems support overall is now reasonable, and if ATI really are putting in some effort to regularly release updated drivers, it may be time to try one of their cards out. Thanks! -- .
