<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Been mucking around trying to get a mythbuntu
jaunty box to behave as a front-end and managed to uninstall the nvidia glx and
then the box would not start X. Tell it to restart X, press cancel and it
started into some damn thing which was X like but apparently not nvidia X,
according to NVIDIA X Server Settings the NVIDIA X driver was not
being used. Display said it was running at 800x600. As it is can
still remote in using VNC so I am assuming some sort of X was running, Xorg was
running as a process.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The odd thing was there was no overscan that was
expected normally even at this resolution. This was over component into a
32" semi-HD CRT. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone make sense of that as I was still
expecting overscan, certainly from a default desktop?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can we exploit that somehow? I imagine the
answer is if you want vdpau (I do on this box) then one has to run nvidia's glx
>= 180.xx.... Still odd that there was no
overscan!</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
