Hi,
I've got a Shuttle SB51G with the optional CV21 TV Out module.

Generally a linux user, normally a Debian user, I'm using Knoppix temporarily as it comes with XFree86 4.3 and I've not had the chance (or rather the bandwidth) to get organized with Branden's unofficial 4.3 for Debian. My X config is a simple one generated by knoppix which I'll post if need be along with the X log file.
Anyway, all works fine (X crashes the odd time switching to text terminals, but that's a topic for another post) and to my great joy TV Out works right out of the box. Just hook it up, remove the Monitor and reboot.
With TV, the initial boot sequence gives a bunch of resolution options or "scan" to probe. Several options work but they all amount to it using 640x480 or 800x600 neither of which fills the TV screen (the latter naturally comes a little closer). X just uses the same area which was used by the boot sequence.
I've asked around and got ideas like "check the BIOS for an overscan option" and "try changing PAL/NTSC". There is no such option in the BIOS and I've changed the PAL/NTSC jumper and it seems to make no difference whatsoever. So, does anyone here have any suggestions for how to proceed to get full screen TV Output?
For the savage driver there is a "TV" option (or something approaching) and you can use it to specify NTSC or PAL output (to see if your driver has this option have a look at its man page). Moreover you can also change the modelines to have better matching display.
Bye
Manu
