[mythtv-users] MythTV shopping list (overscan on gf2 MX)

[Alan Snyder]

I use nvtv
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/nv-tv-out/) to get
overscan with
my gforece2 MX400.  I couldn't get it to compile
(configure couldn't find my
gtk even though it's there), so I found an rpm of
0.4.3 for my Mandrake
system.  It seems to work best with nvidia's drivers
rather than the nv
driver.  Haven't yet ironed out the details of having
things right at
startup and still need to run nvtv manually.

None of the nvtv options gave correct overscan on my
tv, so I set nvtv for a
big overscan and set the myth GUI size/offsets to get
it just right.
