I fitted a graphics card this morning to obtain xv.

Using the settings:-
<geometry>
          <width>400</width>
          <height>300</height>
        </geometry>
        <resolution>
          <horizontal_pixels>800</horizontal_pixels>
          <vertical_pixels>600</vertical_pixels>
        </resolution>
        <geometry_src>user</geometry_src>
        <resolution_src>user</resolution_src>

I can get the menu and the Title being shown correctly as I want it to.

Except that when the half D1 (360x576 - M6) titles are viewed they start
of as tall and skinny on a blue background, but if I just stretch the
Ogle frame a millimetre the title suddenly fills the frame and shows
correctly for me. DVD's recorded at D1 (720x576 - M1) display okay and
fill the screen at fullscreen.

Oh well a long haul but I finally got there. Many thanks.

Byeee ;)
