<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I finally hooked my Myth box up to my TV yesterday
(a basic Panasonic 27" TV). The picture look good quality, however it is way
smaller than the available area of the screen (about an inch or two all round)
and has horrible pincusion on the right side and a blue line at the
top.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am using an nVidia FX5600 and outputting through
the SVIDEO.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have tried it with RenderAccel on and off. It
looks a little better with it off, but there's still some pincushion and the
blue line.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have messed with the TVOverscan (its currently on
0.7), but now my Linux KDE GUI is off the left edge of the screen, with a big
gap still on the right.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am not specifiying any screen size or overscan in
Myth, all are set to 0, which should be auto everything. The Myth overscan
doesn't make the picture wider for me, it just moves some of the viewable
picture off the side of the current (too small) display area.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I used to use this SVIDEO input for my DVD player
and it was fine, so its not the TV/cable/connector.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My desktop res has been tried at 1024x768 and at
800x600 all at a variety of refresh rates between 60 and 85Hz. The best looking
seems t be 1024x768 @ 85Hz, which is more than I expected the TV to be able to
handle, but it looks the least bad.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What/how can I tweak the display to fill the screen
more, and most importantly rid myself of the pincushion.</FONT></DIV><FONT
