Hi,

Thanx Felix, I _did_ RTFM many times ;) But the main problem still exists:
I can't adjust the position (as I'd do it under X with modelines),
so the output on the TV is shifted to the left. Unfortunately,
I can't set it on the TV, because it works on a closed chain TV network, so
~200 TVs should be set.
So, have you any idea how I can adjust the position using this video output
(or use another vo which works with TVout)?

Thanks,
