I cannot get the RR to run at 800x480

What am i doing wrong?
I set me carpc to run at 800x480 i could watch movies (with Media player) without stretching the pixels.

Although, when i run Road Runner i cannot see everything in my screen.
So far i tried the following:
-Set the resolution in config at 800x480
-set the resolution in skin general.ini 800x480

but the problem is still the same?

see attachments for what i see

Make certian that your "Screen Physical Aspect Ratio" radio button is set at 16:9 instead of 4:3.

Alternatively, Make certian you are using a skin that was made for widescreen.

physical aspect ratio is set to 16:9

i am using the skin that comes with the installation of RR (BMV2 i think)

it's a 800*600 skin ! So bottom of screen is scratched

search for another skin : perhaps Lsxvoid : it can be used both resolutions standard 800*480 and stretched.

Yes, the BMV2 skin is 800 x 600 but that does not matter. You can use any size skin with any resolution with RR. It may look stretched ot squashed, but you can fit it to the screen. RR has a built in scaling ability.

Portion of the general.ini file in the Skin directory, in this case:

Road Runner\Skins\BMV2\general.ini

Code:

OriginalWidth=800
OriginalHeight=600
ShowWidth=800
ShowHeight=600
XPosition=0
YPosition=0

To force an 800 x 600 skin to 800 x 480, change the general.ini to read:

Code:

OriginalWidth=800
OriginalHeight=600
ShowWidth=800
ShowHeight=480
XPosition=0
YPosition=0

The first 2 lines are the actual dimensions of the skin's jpg's. The 2nd 2 lines need to be set to your screen resolution, to resize it to fit the current display resolution.
