Thats bad, so you cannot use the fullscreen mode. Therefore, configure freevo to use a resolution of 800x600 and your window manager to draw no borders around your freevo window. + +==== Input Devices ==== +Freevo has the focus at start so it is possible to use the keyboard. But once freevo loose the focus it is not able to get it back. So you need an alternative input device for freevo, e.g. a lirc remote control or a bluetooth device. + + +=== Example XF86Config === +You can find a working example of an XF86Config-4 on [http://www.hubbertz.de/examples/XF86COnfig-4] ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Freevo-wikilog mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-wikilog
