I'm trying to get YDL 6.0 into fullscreen, I have these black bars around the edge and its really annoying and it makes everything really small. can someone help me make it fullscreen? and I have overscan issues.
I've tried doing stuff with the ps3-video-mode thing and it didn't work out to well for me. my TV is running linux at 1080i I believe. I'm not very experienced with linux so... please don't use complicated advanced linux terms that I probably wont understand.
Thanks!
Basically - from what you've described - I don't think we can help you.
Your state that your set has overscan, so a fullscreen mode would display off the edges of your screen. However - you've indicated that the normal mode with black borders is unacceptable. Unfortunately, those are your two main options.
There is a way to create custom resolutions - but you've indicated that you're not very comfortable with advanced Linux techniques, and these resolutions are not trivial to implement.
And the small size? Since your TV only runs 1080i, you probably can't use 720p which would solve the size issue you're describing.
I hate to say it - believe me I'm not trying to be negative here - but I think you just might be out of luck until you get a better monitor.
