[mythtv-users] TVOverScan not working?

[allen edwards]

My prototype worked with 'Option "TVOverScan"   "0.5"'  in the Device 
section of xorg.conf.  My new hardware is unaffected by any value of 
TVOverScan, even 1.0.  (TV CRT with SVIDEO input)

I probably have a little different driver configuration than most in 
that I have nvidia drivers disabled in the hardware driver section but 
they are being loaded by xorg.conf.  I don't really understand this, I 
just know that they are loaded by xorg and that the computer will not 
boot if I enable them in the nvidia control window.  I think there is a 
conflict between the nvidia driver and the air2pc cards.

TVOverScan should work.  I have seen it work, just not with this 
hardware.  I don't know what to do.  This is the last problem in the 
system that I know of.  Everything else is working.  I need to get the 
picture screen filled by the output.

Note, this is not actually a Myth thing as the normal X-windows doesn't 
fill the CRT but I though there might be some helpful folks on this list.
