I am running trunk 16838. But that menu item isn't there. Which menu
was it under (i.e. xml file). If I knew that then I can try and find out
why that menu isn't being viewed correctly - I only have one custom menu
and thats for Media Library. The rest should be system defaulted.

<pre wrap="">If you have an nvidia card the overscan is adjustable in the card

Yes I have an Nvidia -- please let me know -- I looked at it way back
when but only lately has it annoyed me enough to look closer at it.

Get into a terminal and issue this command:<br>
nvidia-settings -a TVOverSacn[TV-0]=2<br>
<br>
You may have to change your device from "TV-0". Try 'grep "(TV"
/var/log/Xorg.0.log' and it may tell you what your device is called.<br>
<br>
If you see the picture get very small, change the 2. I think 10 does
nothing but I am guessing. I use 12 as I want more overscan.<br>
<br>
If you find something that works, you need to find some where to put it
to make it permanent. Check out the posts on TVOverScan not working
that I started and you will find a variety of opinions on where to put
it. I put it in /etc/gdm/Init/Default but that may not be the best
place. It worked for me where a majority of the suggestions I got did
not work.<br>
<br>
There is a gui for nvidia-settings with pretty slide levers. There are
also a nice set of instructions that go with it on what to do to make
them permanent. However, none of that worked for me. I am using
Mythbuntu 8.04<br>
