Finally found the answer. In my old xorg.conf I had the following in my "Monitor" section:
DisplaySize 400 225 This was missing in my new xorg.conf and apparently xine uses this to determine output size. Simply putting it in and restarting X and all is working as normal :) Not sure what that is doing to the quality of my output but given it is a 28inch CRT telly I doubt it makes much difference and my videos look much better. Hopefully this will help someone else too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freevo-users mailing list Freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freevo-users
