Has anyone got a nice Xorg.conf working for PAL and 16x9 on an Epia board? I'm using minimyth. I have found one at http://linpvr.org/ forum/viewtopic.php?t=352 but it doesn't seem to overscan so I get a black border around everything. Also the colours aren't too good but that may just be me using composite when I've been used to RGB on sky+.
I've attached my xorg.conf in case its useful. This is for a M10000 EPIA system with S-Video out to a PAL TV. It's based on Terry Barnaby's sage advice at http://www.kingcot.eclipse.co.uk/unichrome/ unichromeTvOut.html, which I recommend reading anyway since (a) that way you'll know the reason for the various settings and (b) you need Terry's driver for unscaled video output. This xorg.conf enables unscaled video output and overscan that generates an excellent picture on my Sony TV.
The config as it stands has two modes: monitor mode for connection to PC monitor and TV mode (the one usually in operation). Switch the commented lines in the "ServerLayout" section to change. You can have both a monitor and TV attached, but I haven't tried that.
The config also has options remote access via VNC using the X11 xf4vnc driver (http://xf4vnc.sourceforge.net/). I've left these in as I find mirroring the screen via VNC to another PC to be the best way to admin a dedicated frontend/backend Myth box, so you might want to give it a whirl too.
Cheers, Matt.
