This subject seems to have been kicked around a lot on this list but as I have tried all the suggestions I could find lets kick it some more. What I have is STB2 tuner STB nvidia TNT 3d agp graphics card Dell monitor (19 inch trinitron P990) BTTV as part of kernel 2.4.0 XAWTV 3.3 All my attempts to get 'fullscreen' result in the picture being centered on the screen surrounded by about a 2.5 inch black border . I have run xawtv with various options and set the 'fullscreen' variable to various settings to no avail . I get no errors or complaints from xawtv . I know the hardware can do it as it works fine under WinBlows 98. Any ideas? Thanks John
