I found that part of myth's setup, where I can change the size and the offset of myth's GUI, but changing the offset has no affect.-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In many ways the safest might be to get the
original version again
which is available again at
http://membres.lycos.fr/badzzzz/
OK, I'll replace the ivtv driver version with
this one then. I thought
the ivtv driver was including newer copies.
In 100z it looks like Chris just shipped the
source for his driver
which i guess we could rebuild but i dont
have X 4.3.0 on my machine
at the moment, though i have the source in
tar files so i just need
to expand them and build everything.
I think it's better to have this in source
(only), and make sure it
builds on all boxes, or not?
I'm not sure is that what is causing these
problems possibly. Is it
because
people are building it and its failing to build
properly.
That would possibly make sense but in that case
we need to work out
what is
wrong with the build process rather than
changing the source.

Now I'm using the one from
http://membres.lycos.fr/badzzzz/ and X
works, but it is very slow. Another problem is
the desktop, that is
greater than 720 x 576 as configured in
xorg.conf.
Dirk
Yes it is slow but what are you using it for? The
newer versions are faster
but need a newer ivtv version than 100zz.
Are you sure the desktop is greater than 720x576.
The normal problem is
overscan which means that you cant see all of the
720x576 on the tv. You
loose some lines at the top and bottom and ~50
pixels on each side.
John
Yes you are right. I guess it is the overscan
problem. How can I fix it ?
You mentioned, that the newer versions are faster.
Is it recommendable, to use e.g. 0.2.x for my MythBox ? Is only the
performance optimized (how much) or do the newer versions have more
advantages ?
Dirk
0.2 is better in many ways (auto-detection, newer card support etc.) But if what you are using is working then it may be better to stay with what you have.
As for working round the overscan it depends on what you want. I run X with no window manager and then change the overscan settings in mythtv. This works except for the OSD displayed during playback etc. which suffers overscan but this is not too bad and i may work around this in myth soon. The other way is to use a window manager that supports setting a virtual (smaller) screen size and configure it appropriatly. I have seen people mention that this works with ratpoison .
