>> I have an older wide screen (16:9) plasma with a native resolution of 1024x768. It will accept a resolution of 1280x720, but it overscans. In the past I just used a setting in the nvidia driver to compensate for the overscan. At some point that feature of the driver went away. My system defaulted to the native resolution of 1024x768 and myth has been treating the display as a 4x3 screen. I set out to fix this this weekend and found a page on the MythTV wiki that explained how to set the aspect ratio using displaysize in the coefficient.conf file. Trouble is adding that line has no effect. It seem that the setting is controlled somewhere else. I'm running mythbuntu 12.04.<br>

<p>Xorg.conf<br>
I should really proofread better when using my phone for typing email.</p>

<p>Yep. That's the page I followed.<br></p>
<p>The displaysize line in X had no effect. I think something else is overriding it, but I can't figure out what.</p>
