Hi again,
I have done some more testing and have determined that it is actually
MythTV that is not working correctly. After trying everything with no
luck (including reverting X to v4.3.0 w/ the binary via drivers) I
downgraded to v0.13 of MythTV and "viola" - the TV-out is full screen again.
I should mention that it only seems to work properly w/ v0.13 compiled
with the HW decoding support built in. Without it the distortion is
still present - but hey, I want to use the HW decoding so I'm not too
concerned with that.
In v0.14, the TV-out has black bars on the sides regardless of whether
I'm using the HW MPEG or not.
I have two front-ends (the Epia and my desktop PC) and a back-end which
also runs the front-end connected to a TV (GeForce MX440 TV-out). Only
the Epia has a problem.
Is anyone running v0.14 on an Epia M10000 (Nehemiah) connected to a TV?
Any idea's what I've got wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Brent
