As this is my first posting to this list can I first start by giving a big thanks Chris, Hans, John, Ian and everyone involved in the ivtv driver of which I have been a long-time user - and very happy I have been with it to!
I have just updated to the atrpms packaged version of 0.10 for Fedora Core 6 and I see this release has comments in the IVTV.framebuffer and module options for ivtv-fb for controlling width and height thanks no doubt to Ian (and Johns?) work. I have updated my xorg.conf and been able to finally see all of my my X session - finally being able to correct for the significant overscan on my TV and see all my desktop is really brilliant - thank you very much. I do have a few questions if I may be so bold: 1) how can I alter the horizontal and vertical positioning of X?- can this be controlled via my xorg.conf? or is it the case that ivtv-fb module parameters need to be set? or perhaps this should be controlled by ivtvfbctl? 2) when I use xv via mythtv to playback any content recorded at a resolution lower than the new reduced x window size it will play back beautifully however playback of any content with a resolution wider than the width of the X session (or presumably taller) results in a blue screen (with the audio playing). I notice that I do not see any "kernel: ivtv0 warning: Need to adjust to width....." messages in /var/log/messages when playback of the higher resolution content starts. Can anyone give me any guidance on figuring out if this a fundamental limitation of the hardware/xv, a misconfiguration, a bug in ivtv or a problem with mythtv?
