Ok, I am at my wits end here. I appreciate the response. I tried to figure out how to drop the database, and had no luck. I then went as far as uninstalling mythtv and mysql, then re-install both and start over. I am getting the same problem when I run mythtvsetup. My whole desktop gets huge and I can't see any of the selections in mythtv. If I logout and log back in to my X session, everything returns to normal. By the way, I am following the instructions for setting up mythtv from Jarod Wilson (the Fedora Myth How-to guy)'s website.

Also, there is a correction to my first post, I messed up while going through the settings from the mythtv frontend settings, not mythtvsetup.

Yes it's easy to do something wrong with out detecting it and wham !!! you are hosed.
No rant just fact.

any way to avoid a reinstall of myth, the easiest way to reset is to drop the database and recreate it. basically you'll be removing all the settings so you'll be starting over and have repeat a myth-setup and filldb

Subject: [mythtv-users] font and screen size problem


I am just setting up Mythtv on my system and made a huge mistake. I am using Fedora Core 4, KDE and a pvr350. I just got mythtv installed, and I made a mistake while doing the setup (mythtvsetup). I somehow changed the size of the window so that it is so big, I can't see the whole screen. I only see the very top left hand corner of the screen and part of the first selection on the menu. When I do get it to exit, my desktop is also way big. If I exit my X session and re-enter, my original desktop setting is still there. Is there a configuration file that I can edit so that the screen is smaller? I am somewhat a novice when it comes to linux, but am willing to follow directions or go to a page that my have my answer. I have searched the mail list archives as well as the on line documentation. Any help is appreciated.
