Hy.
When using Tvtime to watch television i always get 2 black stripes on the left and on the right of the screen about 2 cm each, which is really annoying. Do you have any ideea how to fix this.. In the past when i was using some other distro.. (mandrake i think) things were just fine and tv was showing on the full screen. I'm using gentoo now. kernel 2.6.10
Here's tvtime output:
Running tvtime 0.9.12.
rtctimer: Cannot open /dev/rtc: No such file or directory
rtctimer: Cannot open /dev/misc/rtc: No such file or directory
Enhanced Real Time Clock support in your kernel is necessary for
smooth video. We strongly recommend that you load the 'rtc' kernel
module before starting tvtime, and make sure that your user has
access to the device file (/dev/rtc or /dev/misc/rtc). See our
support page at
http://tvtime.net/ for more information.
