I'm not sure if anyone here will be able to help, but I thought I'd give it a try. I just but an XBox recently so I could play Halo 2, and I wanted to be able to view it through my pc monitor that I have linux running on. So I installed a tv tuner card on my pc and recompiled the kernel as necessary and started up xawtv. Everything is okay... for the most part (I had to jimmy the settings a little). But there is one big problem - a black border.

I have like a 8 inch black border on all sides of the screen when watching at full screen. I can't figure out how to make the video scretch to fill the rest of the screen. Does anyone have any suggestions? I believe I have an ATI Radeon graphics card.

Thanks.

Nevermind - I fixed it. Installing my ATI Radeon drivers correctly surprisingly helped
