I just upgraded to rh8.0 from 7.1, and xawtv started giving me half-height video in "fullscreen" mode, using vidmode. The bottom half of the screen remains blue, and the video is squashed vertically in the upper half. Anyone know what would cause this? In both cases it's a 2.4.18 kernel, though the patch sets from redhat might be different. X has changed from 4.1.0 to 4.2.0. Both versions of xawtv were 3.something. I tried all of the lastest versions which would compile w/o error (back to 3.78 or so). The video card is a G400. BTW, is it possible to set up hardware scaling in a way that doesn't suck? I'm always amazed at how horrible the video looks using the xvideo extension. I alawys use vidmode instead to match the source resolution. It gives a vastly sharper picture. Does this depend on the hardware algorithm? b.c.
