Well, the xrandr support is important since it allows the access to
the RandR extension in X. From the man page, the first line of the
Description is "Xrandr is used to set the screen size, orientation
and/or reflection." My only guess on the cause of the problem is
that your current version of X doesn't have the randr extension.
Here is the info on my machine querying xorg-x11 package:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mythtv]# rpm -q xorg-x11
--xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2_4.rhfc4.at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mythtv]# rpm -q xorg-x11 --list | grep xrandr
--/usr/X11R6/bin/xrandr
--/usr/X11R6/man/man1/xrandr.1x.gz
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mythtv]# which xrandr
--/usr/X11R6/bin/xrandr
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mythtv]#
If your output to the above commands is different, you might want to
do an update - and make sure you followed all the instructions in:
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php, sections "5. Get your system
up-to-date" and "6. Configure 3rd-party package repositories"
If this doesn't work, please send the output from the above commands,
your xorg.conf file and your dmesg output.

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

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.
