[mythtv-users] [OT] GeForce 2 Overscan?

[Owen B. Mehegan]

I did chmod u+s nvtv, but it still won't run as a user other than root.
Also, it's an interactive program. Once I use it, I can't figure out how
to get it to keep the settings I give it for more than just one x
session. I also haven't really even gotten it to do exactly what I want.
Maybe my TV just sucks...
