[mythtv-users] How can I fix over scan on nvidia 9500 GT

[John Nissley]

I know there is a big write up about how to do this but I just can not
seem to get things to work and was hoping some one could give me
something to try.

I have an HDTV with a few hdmi ports.  I have a 9500 GT nvidia card and=20
am using a DVI to HDMI cable to connect to the TV.  I have serious over=20
scan that I have fixed for the most part with customer setting in the
appearance section of the set up menus.  This works but is not really
what I want.  I got the EDID information when X starts up and created a=20
customer xorg.conf file but it did not seem to make any difference.

Here is a copy of my xorg.conf file
