It wasn't easy. In fact, nothing worked as described. Nothing.<br>

The nvidia-settings are not loaded automatically when you restart your
x server. To get them to load automatically you just need add
"nvidia-settings -l" somewhere during your x start up. I put it in
~/.xinitrc.<br>

I don't have any file named "xinitrc" or ".xinitrc" on my system. I am
thinking that is not how it is done in Mythbuntu...<br>
I tried several other (non working) suggestions and finally found a
post I translated from German that said to modify
/etc/gdm/Init/Default. That worked!!! <br>
I added:"nvidia-settinge -a TVOverScan[TV-0]=12" just before "exit"<br>
<br>
Is this a good way to do it???<br>
<br>
btw, I didn't use the "nvidia-settings -l" option because
nvidia-settings was not saving the settings as it should. When I
looked at the file ".nvidia-settings-rc" nothing about TVOverScan was
there. I experimented and found a command that would do what I wanted
and took to finding a place to load it.<br>

It sounds like you are running Mythbuntu or Ubuntu. </blockquote>
Correct<br>

type="cite">The hardware drivers dialogue will load the proprietary
nvidia drivers from the Ubuntu repositories. If you have installed the
nvidia drivers some other way, like with Envy or straight from Nvidia
then the hardware drivers dialogue will show that they aren't being
used, because you aren't using the default proprietary drivers from the
Ubuntu repositories. So even if that dialogue says they aren't enabled,
you may still have the drivers installed from some other source. <br>
</blockquote>
You are correct. I don't use the drivers loaded in the normal way
because my system will not boot if I do. I disabled them there (which
uninstalls them) and loaded them with evnyng. That works.<br>
<br>
I think I am done unless I have problems because of modifying
"/etc/gdm/Init/Default"<br>
