Thanks Flo, I checked out the page and read the documentation and tried to use the overlay but I still have the same problem. When I am in the command line before I go into freevo by using freevo -fs as a user not root, I can issue the mplayer -vo vesa KillerMovie.avi and it works perfectly. The entire screen is filled as it should be, when I go into X that is when it leaves a black border about 1" on top and the left hand side. I have looked at all the FAQ about this and can't seem to solve this problem. I tried using 1024x768 but it seems that my TV can't handle it. So I am using 800x600 instead. Any other ideas on what I should try or look at? On a side note, this rocks!! I have it playing music movies pictures cd's dvd's whatever I throw at! Recording works like a charm and I figured out to sync my clock to a time server so I would quit losing the last 1 minute of every show. That one stumped me for a day. :) Thanks to all who work on this project, you guys are awesome! (This gratuitus as kissing was brought to you by the letter 'C' and the number '7'.)
