Hi,

I think this is not a problem of nvtv but of MPlayer, which did not get the
information about the screen size of the TV as it would from an X display.

On my Linux box, I start gmplayer with the -screenw 800 -screenh 600 options (if
your nvtv mode is 800x600). Switching to full screen then works. Sometimes I have
to switch my X resolution to 800x600 and back before tv-out works.

Hope this helps.

Toto
