Has anyone else had this problem just got a new LCD TV and when using the Component video the myth screen is showing up 4:3. If I use the DVI out on my FE it fills up the screen. I have it set to 720p on both. I am using R5D1. Thanks for any help. |

Maybe if you told us what video card you have it could help. Are you using some sort of adapter from your video card's output to making it into a component signal? |

Have you tried using the "w" key to switch aspect ratios? Also have you tried changing your tvs aspect/zoom setting to see if it corrects the problem? If myth is treating your display like it is a 4:3 instead of a 16:9 (this may happen with a 480P display setting since it could be either) then you could try adding the following to your XFree86Config-4 DisplaySize 340 180 ( you may need to use different values to get the fonts to work well) A couple searches for displaysize will give you a lot of info. |

To get fonts to look acceptable with nvidia drivers use the DPI option: Option "DPI" "100x100" fooling with the DisplaySize can 'fix' this, but this is the more direct way IMO. |

I tried to use the w key at the main screen and doesn't seem to do anything. I have the TV set to fill the screen. I also did try to use the Display Size setting and didn't seem to make a difference. When the TV is turned on it does say 480i and then when it get to the myth screen it changes to 720P. When I go into the info on the TV it does say 720p and does have the right screen resolution but is still in a 4:3 mode. Thank for the idea's so far. |

What brand is the TV? I have a Samsung LCD TV and it will stretch the picture in 480i mode, but not 720p or 1080i. So in 720p, the signal coming in has to be 16:9 for it to fill the screen. I don't know if there is a way to check what aspect ratio myth is using to output. |

I have a Wstinghouse LTV-32w6. Here is the XF86Config-4 file. Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" Option "DPMS" "false" Option "TVStandard" "HD720p" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV" Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPONENT" Option "NoLogo" "1" Option "TVOverScan" "0.8" Option "DPI" "75 x 75" If I set it to HP480p it fills up almost all of the screen and if I have it set to HD480i it does fill up the whole screen so it seem the higher resolution I go the more it shrinks the picture. Hitting the w key didn't do anything I am having this issue with the main Knoppmyth screen not in a play back screen. Sorry if I gave that impression. Hopefully is will help. |
