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 can see my future: way too much reading of documentation over the next few days.
Naturally my wife preferred the old larger image on the 13" TV, and, of course, the 13" TV gave out shortly before I unplugged it. So now I have to make the darn thing work or there will be much complaining until another TV can be afforded for the basement computer room.
