Actually, it all seem to work now. Thanks alot for your help!


Nice to have helped.

...all I need to do now is to find a way to make use of the 10% overscanmode so I can get a decent size on the movies played. My plan is to reducethe part of the screen used by linux. I have no exact idea on how to do itbut I guess I get to dig into the modlines.


You can only do 640x480 or 800x600 due to the TV-out chip, but changing a player
using SDL to call  SDL_SetVideoMode() with 768x576 instead of 800x600
will create a video window of 768x576 on a 800x600 background. This results
in a black border, but with the overscan, these borders will be outside the
viewable area on the TV. That's all you need.
