• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description step 2003-06-20 03:34:25 UTC]

After i updated to xfree 4.3.0-r2  i got this strange problem. When i like to
watch a movie on TV screen, i have to switch to 640x480 mode (i use xrandr -s
1). I start the mplayer and the movie, bottom part of the video disappears.
(allso  when i go to full screen mode)

I have reemerged xine and mplayer after i updated the xfree. It did not help. 

I use IBM ThinkPad x24

image sent to TV screen via VGA cable is a OK!
