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?<br>

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

I had this problem as well with my PVR350 and TV Out on Fedora Core 4.
<br>
<br>
Here are some things to try:
<br>
<br>
I followed the following document for setup:
<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php">http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php</a>?
SID&expandables=closed&ivtv=open&pvr350out=open
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
Next, in the documentation from the mythtv site:
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html">http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html</a>
<br>
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.
<br>
<br>
I also made changes some as per the section on "Overscan Dimensions".
<br>
<br>
Hope it helps,
<br>
<br>
Rajeev.
