In regards to my previous problem I actual seemed to have resolved it to some degree. I found that when using 16bpp color under X the problem described disappears. Did I miss somthing?? Has this always been the case? I have a black border which seems to be partly occupied by left over junk from the previous xawtv window (before full screen). Any ideas?
