Due to the small font size in an xterm window (hard to read on a normal TV), I often use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch from the graphical X screen to a full-screen terminal window, then later switch back using Ctrl-Alt-F7. However, I find that the TV Overscan settings in my XF86Config-4 file are lost after returning to the X graphical mode. So basically I end up having to reboot afterwards to get the MythTV screen to fill the entire TV screen. Does anyone know of a way to get around this? Perhaps I wouldn't need to use Ctrl-Alt-F1 if I knew how to increase the font size in an xterm window but I haven't figured out how to do that either. |

How about a compromise solution: ctrl-alt-backspace should force X to quit and restart, restoring the overscan settings, but without the long task of rebooting (and thereby avoids killing any recordings in progress in mythbackend). I often do that when I don't feel like navigating xine menus with my combined keyboard/pointer device after playing a DVD.

also if you have a mouse then you can adjust the font size in xterm I believe it's ctrl+rightclick to get the menu. There's supposedly something you can set to have it bigger by default too, but I tried one thing I saw and it didn't work, and I have just been too lazy to dig more into it. |
