[Savage40] Savage IX problem with TVout and xv

[Shufeng Zheng]

I don't know if this is the right place to post. If not, please tell me 
where I can find the answer...
I using  xorg-6.8.0. The savage driver and s3switch work almost 
perfectly on my omnibook xe3 laptop with a savage IX-MV.

The only problem is: when I try to output video to TV, with xv, the 
image is offset to right bottom of the TV screen.

I use mplayer. It is perfect when I select "x11" as video output device 
("mplayer -vo x11 "). I can switch between LCD and TV at anytime, even 
when playing.

But with xv and sdl ("mplayer -vo xv" or "-vo sdl"), after I switch the 
video output to TV, the video always has offset. That is: the video 
drift to right-bottom of the TV screen( maybe about 200pixel, about the 
difference of 1024x768 and 800x600), both in windowed and full screen 
mode. Other parts in the desktop is normal.

A bypass is: switch to TV mode in console, before X starts. Then start X 
with OPTION "PAL", and every thing is perfect...

I prefer to use xv since video with xv is more fluent and consumes less 
CPU resources. Actually sometime I have to. And I hate changing X 
configuration file and restart X...Any help?
