I'm in the process of setting up Myth on a virgin FC3 box; all's going /fairly/ well so far (just found the fix to the hanging-fonts problem earlier on the list), except:
The GUI window (but seemingly only the settings pages) hangs off the bottom of the screen, often hiding some of the help prompt and the next/back/[something else] buttons.
I'm running through an nVidia card (S-Video) at 1024x768 into my TV. The normal KDE desktop fills the screen with nothing off the bottom. I've not had a chance to run TV mpegs through Myth yet, so I don't know if that'll be OK.
Either Myth's creating the window too big for the display, it's resizing the display somehow to be off-screen or it thinks the window it has is bigger than it is. It is odd that nothing seems missing hen in the 'normal' pages (currently, mostly just bumming around in MythMusic).
Any thoughts as to what to check? Thinking about it, I ought to do an xwininfo on myth in normal & settings mode to see what it thinks the window size is.
I did try specifying the window size as 1024x768 instead of 0x0 ('full') to no avail., and when I tried smaller (800x600) it didn't 'xrandr' the display size as I expected (although maybe that's right in this instance) but used just the top-left 800x600, tiling the theme's background across the rest of the screen.
On a slight aside, what would be the recommended display settings for me? I feel I should be setting the GUI and separately, with GUI as full/1024x768 and TV as 'DVD PAL' (720x576). I'm using a PVR-350, FWIW; I don;t know what its recording res. is; maybe I'd be better off using that size.
