Yeah, I've been there and back. Not so much a matter of changing
resolutions (probably an X configuration) but unpredictable behaviour.
This isn't always a bad thing.
For the longest I've been running it "grabdisplay", but I started it
up last night and I only got sound. I was disappointed. So I set the
capture mode to grabdisplay, thinking that I'd be stuck with a small
screen. BUT NO...I'm right now seeing O'Reilly in a window, but when I
"F" it, nothing of the desktop remains....turning my 19" monitor into a
true television set, and me, a happy camper. See? Unpredictability
isn't always a bad thing. And heck...it uses less CPU than it did under
Shrike. Go figure!
Won'tcha send me your X configuration (XF86Config) and .xawtv files
off-list, and I'll compare it with mine. Maybe I can bring your
enjoyment level up to mine!
