What version of the nvidia-graphics driver do you have installed? Given that 
you were upgrading your system quite a bit, its very possible that you've now 
got the 5336 nvidia driver installed, which won't do overscan. Check

rpm -qa nvidia-graphics*

The desired package is nvidia-graphics4363, which is the last rev to actually 
have working overscan support.
