Sorry but according to man page, -fixed-vo option can't be used with vesa mode 
(that's what he requested) or then, man page should be updated ?

Seems that TV Out problems come from the VIA EPIA mainboard itself, as the BIOS
has to be set to use OverScan mod instead of UnderScan.

Besides, if you really wanna use VESA mode, you'd better try "-vo vesa:vidix"
but in this case you may need the attached patch to get a correct tvout display.
