-- sorry for the long message -- I have the same problem that you have... I have struggled like hell to have my ATI 9000 Radeon to work with Tv-Out and XV - I managed that with kernel 2.4.x to have 800x600 on both monitor and TV but since 2.6.x I can only reach weird combinations of 640x480 and 800x600 ... I start freevo (which btw cannot be started automatically in fullscreen mode), remove the borders from the kde window and press "z" - it is then Ok and fullscreen on the TV upstairs, which is what it needs to do. Anyway is on a virtual 800x600, so if someone moves the mouse downstairs (where the monitor is) the viewable windows move (and _no_ , it does not work on 640x480 plain).
Beside that, I love freevo - and my family the same ... the only complain is actually the ATI card (I'll replace it with an NVIDIA chip based as soon as I have the time to open the beast) and the fact that the combination of freevo with LIRC+Irman+Marmitek Remote is not responding at light speed times ... and of course that after installing python 2.4 I cannot use the audio mixer anymore within freevo .... and that I cannot get xmame to work Anyway: great work, my humble opinion is that Freevo it is not the easiest thing to set up, but once it is up properly it is really great - compared to the results I have with MythTV (which I use from a Mini Mac connected to the server) and Xbox Media center (which my cousin uses to connect to the same server). 2005/10/3, Christian Lyra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > Ok...
