When I try to change the GUI settings in mythfrontend - setup, those fields are disabled. I also get a message that to use different GUI settings xrandr support is required. I am not an X (or fedora) expert. Any ideas what the problem might be?

I've seen some write ups on this problem but I am still unclear how to
solve it. I have a PVR-350 card and I'm trying to run the X output on
the card. However, the mythtv screens are clipped on all sides. It  as if
the X screen is larger than the PVR-350 screen. I've tried various
changes in my xorg.conf file but that does not seem to make a
difference. Any guidence would be appreciated. I'm using the xorg.conf
from http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/xorg.conf-PVR350.txt.

I had this problem as well with my PVR350 and TV Out on Fedora Core 4.

Here are some things to try:

I followed the following document for setup:

http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php? SID&expandables=closed&ivtv=open&pvr350out=open

If you use Fedora Core 4, there is a paragraph about a bug in "urw- fonts" package in Fedora Core 4 - this helped somewhat  Search for  "urw-fonts" in the above document.

Next, in the documentation from the mythtv site:
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html
I followed the directions under "MythTV Dimensions" and played around  with the x/y sizes and offsets and it fixed the screens and things  seem to work.

I also made changes some as per the section on "Overscan Dimensions".

Hope it helps,

Rajeev.
