Is the stuff which is displayed via OSD also visible when I use tuxview/xawtv/...? I don't think so?! If not, I won't be able to use VDR as it uses OSD? Or is there some other recording software which uses X? (Sorry for asking instead of trying it out - it would take me some hours to configure it.)

I'm currently using an ELSA GLADIAC 311TV-OUT with NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 200. The SVHS-out gives a nice picture connected to my 28" TV, but only when speaking about colors. The resolution of the X driver is locked to 640x480 and 800x600 (no way to get a PAL signla out), which both leaves a small black border around the "active" picture. I've mailed nvidia and got an answer promising they would have a look at this - I hope they really do. Damned closed-source drivers... I'll probably buy another graphics board with TV-out, but only if I find a solution for the issue mentioned above.
