As a first go at it I just cut and pasted the metamode line
that the author used (i.e. Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: 1280x720
{ ViewPortIn=1280x720, ViewPortOut=1045x675+120+15 }" ) and it
worked like a charm. Of course now I have underscan. I don't
really understand his/her arithmetic so I'm going to have to
figure that out before I make any changes (baby steps). If
anyone has an insight please let me know otherwise I'll just
have to play with it until I get it right. I am optimistic
though.<br>
<br>
<br>
First off, watch the top posting, always post inline or at the
bottom of the quoted text.... allows people to read things in
order instead of having to read from the bottom up.<br>
<br>
If I had to guess... the ViewPortOut value is simply the
resolution and the offset. So in the example you posted, the
view port is actually 1045x675, and it is moved 120px to the
right, and 15px down. I assume the offset is from the top
left corner (0,0).<br>
<br>
Imagine your screen is a typical X/Y graph... your screen
(including it's overscan) is a rectangle grounded such that
the top left corner is at 0,0. The viewport is another
rectangle that, unmodified is exactly the same as your screen.
What your doing is changing the size of the viewport in
relation to the screen.... the problem is that by default the
viewport remains grounded at 0,0, for example:<br>

<div style=""><font face="courier new, monospace">Use the offset
to move the viewport to the center of your screen (or where
ever it needs to be to display everything). </font><span
style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">Make sense?</span></div>
<div style=""><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace"><br>
</span></div>
<div style=""><span style="font-family:'courier new',monospace">It's
gonna take some trial and error to get both the size and
offset right. You may be able to make it easier by creating
a wallpaper image that has a grid, say lines every 10px, on
it to show you how big your viewport is, and how far you
need to move the offset. Of course this would only be
useful BEFORE you set the viewport and offset.</span></div>

Good guess. Played around with it last night and it is working
perfectly. Thank you to everyone.<br>
