Is there any way to configure X to fill up my wide screen HDTV via
SVideo with a GeForce 2 card? I can get the regular 4:3 (640x480)
resolution but would like to have the "desktop" fill my 16:9 display.
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?
Thanks,

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".
SVID is only going to give you 640x480. You can change the screen
resolution in myth to something 16:9 and use your tv to stretch the picture.
But ultimately, it's still 640x480 that's coming out of the TV out on your
card.
OK, thanks for confirming that. I had read that some cards can give
800x600. Is there any truth in this? I know it didn't work for me but
I am just wondering.
Thanks,
Drew
