Has anyone else had a similar problem and been able to make their TV application give you a real fullscreen? I'm getting tired of the 2" black border around the "fullscreen" TV picture.
Sounds like your video driver was unable to allocate a YUV scalar. Try checking to ensure that XVideo extention is loaded properly by checking your video driver's man page and also the /var/log/Xorg.log.0
Well I did manage to figure out how to get the "v4l" XVideo extension loaded into XF86Config-4 (XVideo doesn't let you do video capturing but I won't be doing that), but getting rid of the black border requires a 1024x768 Modeline in the new XFree4 and I haven't done any modelines since XFree86 3.3.6. Debian autoprobed everything and set up all the Modelines as 800x600 and 640x480.
I set up a 24-bit 1024x768 mode line in XF86Config-4. I added a Load "x4l" line to XF86Config-4. I set the 1024x768 screen to Default. Debian boots up into 1024x768 XFree4.
I edited xawtvrc and added the Global line "fullscreen = 1024 x 768".
I run xawtv, and select F (fullscreen mode). I still get all the video in a small window in the center of the screen.
Is it just not possible to get a an actual full screen in Linux XFree4? The last time I used this AverTV Stereo TV Tuner card in a Windows machine, I could get 100% fullscreen video.
