Ok, I am at my wits end here. I appreciate the response. I tried to

You've probably got the same database files. Although you uninstalled
MySQL, its data files--the database itself--probably were not (at least,
should not have been) deleted.
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.
Instead of just deleting the database (or its contents), you might as
well just modify it.
Log in to mysql with:
$ mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg
(type in the mythtv user's password--probably mythtv)
mysql> UPDATE settings SET data = 624 WHERE value = 'GuiWidth';
mysql> UPDATE settings SET data = 472 WHERE value = 'GuiHeight';
That will make the GUI a little smaller than 640x480, so it should
display on whatever screen you're using. Then, use the settings in
mythfrontend to make it the right size. Make sure you know what your
screen size is and start smaller and work your way up until it fills the
screen without.

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.
