[mythtv-users] The nvidia-settings tool and Myth (keeping overscan right)

[Pete Stagman]

I have no problem keeping the settings. I know that nvidia-settings
saves the settings when you exit it.

What I do is tweak my settings, close it, restart it and leave it
running minimized. It always survives reboots for me that way. As long
as I don't close it before shutdown.
