Michael,

    Indeed, it has the component input that I'm using.

It's a DigiMatrix box, and someone said that it should be able to do 1920x1080 (1080i), but I have not been able to get this to work, and the refrence for Mr. Winischhoffer's SiS driver at: http:// www.winischhofer.at/linuxsispart1.shtml#24 seems to say that tv-out only goes up to 1280x1024. I would love to hear that I'm wrong about this however, and any pointers toward getting a higher resolution tv out would be grand! :)

    It does have 1280x720, so I guess I'll try that.

Thanks,
Peter Darley

    I have a question about this:
My video card will only go up to 1280x1024 on tv out, but I'm displaying it on a 16:9 aspect tv. Right now I have DispaySize=400 225, which tells xine etc that the screen isn't really 4:3.

Would it work to set it to 462 260, being that 260 = 1024*2.54, and 462 = 260*(16/9)? I got this because the 1024 px height is the 'real' hight of the display, and then the width is relative to that.


Does your 16:9 TV have any inputs besides the S-Video/Composite/ SCART connection you're using? You would be much better off using a proper 16:9 ratio in X and using 100 DPI on both axes.

If you use anything besides 100 DPI square pixels (i.e. 100 DPI in both the horizontal and vertical planes), some of your graphic elements are likely to be misaligned. (See my other post in the thread.) I.e. the approach you're using will give you a calculated DPI of 70x100. That will result in proper vertical alignment of text/graphics (which is probably more important than horizontal alignment--because of arrows next to selected items, etc.) but will result in horizontal alignment problems.
