Yes it can. The top of my .xawtv file looks like this: [global] fullscreen = 800 x 600 That will cause it to try to change modes when going fullscreen. Xawtv uses DGA to do this so you need the DGA module loaded in X. > If so could someone please point me to the diocs on how to do this for > NTSC? this might help: http://bytesex.org/xawtv/xfree4.html > I've presently got 3 TV capable comouters: > > 1.

The other was xawtv can do fullscreen is to use xvideo scaling without changing the screen mode. Thats probably whats going on there. Alan
