<br>> ><br>> > --<br>> > Steve<br>><br>><br>> Thanks for your suggestions. Thought it might be time to recap this<br>> problem.<br>><br>><br>> I upgraded the Nvida drivers from 1.0-7174
to the lastest 1.0-8762<br>><br>> After doing that I tired my orignal XF86Config-4 (the one that had the left<br>> hand side of what should be the normal display, is in the middle of the<br>> screen!!)<br>>
<br>> Now with the new drivers installed it now Displays correctly!! So that<br>> problem was with the 1.0-7174 drivers.<br>><br>> Since you headed me in the right direction in making some changes to the<br>> mode line I am wondering if you could shead some additional light on the
<br>> subject.<br>><br>> With this modeline: ModeLine "ATSC-1080-60i" 74.25 1920 1960 2016 2200 1080<br>> 1082 1088 1125 Interlace<br>><br>> The Home screen is displayed with the left side of the H missing and the
<br>> tops of the ome is at the top of the screen.<br>><br>> All in all it looks like there is equal space not being displayed on all for<br>> sides of the screen. When I go to the setup menus I the bottom row is not
<br>> displayed.<br>><br>> Is it now possible to get the size of the display a little smaller on all<br>> four sides ?<br><br>thats the TV overscan, you will want to adjust the menu display size<br>to fix the menu. You can also fiddle with the modeline to try and get
<br>more of the screen on the screen, but this is really the wrong way to<br>go about this since it means you no longer output a pixel for pixel<br>image.<br><br>The REAL way to fix it is to fix the TV, using the service menu and
<br>adjusting the display width and height. This *is* a "dangerous" method<br>though, as if you don't do things right you can screw up your TV.<br>Check the avsforum to see if people know how to do this with the HDTV
<br>you have and follow the method they describe and don't fiddle with<br>anything else and you'll be fine.<br><br>I've done this with my HDTV, I used the service menu to get the image<br>as tightly on the screen as possible then adjusted the menu offsets so
<br>that it better fits the screen.<br><br>I forget which setup screen this is in, I think its in general, or<br>perhaps appearance somewhere....<br><br>--<br>Steve</blockquote><div><br>Where is this done? I know I can adjust the sizes of the fonts with the
