Is there any way to configure X to fill up my wide screen HDTV via

I also use nvtv to shift the display to fill the 4:3 screen but have
been unable to find a way to make those settings permanent.  Is this
possible?

Or have I reached the limits of the card and need something newer.
Suggestions?

If you have HDTV, why don't you get a VGA -> Component adapter like
the Audio Authority 9A60?  Do you have any HDTV content to view?
Ultimately, I suspect I will go that route. However this box is more a "proof of concept" that was built with spare hardware I already owned. As it's only an AMD Athlon 750mhz processor, an HDTV card at this point is out of the question from my understanding. But as it is, the performance is quite good (probably thanks to the Win-TV 250 mpeg encoder) unless I try to transcode files. Then there's a wait. :) Anyway, when I buy the components to build my "real" system, an HDTV card and component video will be the way I go. But for now, I was just hoping to make the system "better".

Thanks,

Drew
