Hi all,

I stumbled upon this information when I was upgrading my system to Fedora
18 yesterday.  With the newer nVidia drivers (greater than version 300),
you can add a line to the Screen section of xorg.conf to compensate for
overscan.

Brief instructions with an example are on the wiki:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Overscan

There is a link to the original nVidia README which you might find useful
as well.

I hope someone finds this useful.  I've been trying to fix overscan for a
few years now.  I haven't seen anything on the list about this.  The
overscan on my television is quite extensive, and this cleaned things up
nicely after about fifteen minutes of experimentation.

Jerry
