Hi all,<br>
<br>
I stumbled upon this information when I was upgrading my system to Fedora<br>
18 yesterday. With the newer nVidia drivers (greater than version 300),<br>
you can add a line to the Screen section of xorg.conf to compensate for<br>
overscan.<br>
<br>
Brief instructions with an example are on the wiki:<br>
<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Overscan" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/<u></u>Overscan</a><br>
<br>
There is a link to the original nVidia README which you might find useful<br>
as well.<br>
<br>
I hope someone finds this useful. I've been trying to fix overscan for a<br>
few years now. I haven't seen anything on the list about this. The<br>
overscan on my television is quite extensive, and this cleaned things up<br>
nicely after about fifteen minutes of experimentation.<br>

yah back to the commandline. the nvidia-settings method, while it worked,<br>
as often awkward on an htpc with no mouse.<br>

You can always ssh in from another box.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></blockquote><div><br>Not to use nvidia-settings i don't think. It wants to deal with $DISPLAY which will not be your TV screen. <br>
