Hi all,
I'm running a MythTV 0.17 box on Gentoo, and I'm getting closer and closer to nirvana. I can now play music, view pics, view movies, record TV, and all that good stuff.
One of the few remaining issues for me is using all of my TV's screen real-estate. If I use the 'nvidia-settings' tool, I can set up the overscan so that the image completely fills my TV. Unfortunately, it doesn't last. Especially if I use MythGame to launch an external application that resizes things (StepMania and TuxRacer for example). When I return to Myth the screen is no longer maximized.
I've found that the only way to reliably get the screen maximized again is to quit Myth, fire up the nvidia-settings GUI, twiddle the size slider, then quit the GUI. Even running 'nvidia-settings --load-config-only' doesn't do it.
This is a real pain, because I'm mostly using the remote, and although pulling out the keyboard isn't too big a pain, finding a surface to use the mouse on is a real annoyance.
I know this isn't a Myth issue, it's poor design on nVidia's part, but how are other people dealing with nvidia-settings? Does anybody have a way to re-maximize the display without leaving Myth, or at least without having to bring up the GUI?
