Howto configure borderless 4:3 tv-out on n900?
Hi, there seems to be an API to change the behaviour of the TV output on the n900. At least the media player uses it to e.g. display things with a different layout on the internal screen and the tv-out. I am asking this because i think it's a great thing to add to all those 640x480 (4:3) programs and especially emulators. The problem these have is that the have a black border left and right to accomodate for the 800x480 main screen and on tv-out they get another top and bottom border to display the entire internal display contents on the tv-out. The result is a 4:3 image on the 4:3 tv-out with black borders on all four sides and with pixels being lost. This isn't useful at all. I would be really cool if these applications could just request the tv.out to zoom/crop the 4:3 tv-output. That way most emulated games would run full screen and without any pixel loss. How can this be achieved? Till ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

In retrospect, I think that the mailto scheme is actually the correct one and that the 'historical' plain mail address is the one more likely to cause trouble in the future. Let me elaborate: if we use automatic tools/applications (extras-assistant, appwatch, something based on texrat's framework, you name it), defining an URL there is the right thing to do: if it's a mailto: scheme, the browser will open the mail client, so it will work. With putting simple mail addresses in there, any potential automated client (including the maemo.org interface) will have to make this analysis whether the giver string is a mail address, whether it's correct, etc, etc. I'm inclined to say the bugtracker should be a proper URL (whether http or mailto doesn't matter as long as it can be automatically handled with a browser). The maemo.org interface will have to take this into account either way. Of course, should we reach an agreement of such a change, we should probably send out a notification mail to all package maintainers using the 'old' scheme in the bugtracker fields (not that difficult to find with grep).
