The latest nVidia driver series has returned the over/underscan GUI<br>

For the previous you had to use viewportin/out..<br>

FWIU If the Option "DPI" "string" is used. it ignores the displaysize.<br>

The display size is normally calculated from DPI & native pixel size.<br>

After some googling and some searching of the files in my system (reading startup scripts, etc) I think that xrandr may be the culprit. It seems to be forcing square DPI. I found a setting using xrandr from terminal that will change this and all works well until reboot. Adding the command to a script and running it at logon, does not seem to work however. I think it has to do with the timing of the scripts that are running. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Since I have a fix that works for the current session, and since reboots are very infrequent (mythfrontend only box), I just added the xrandr command to the mythfrontend startup script. Then when there is a reboot and my wife/kids press the button on the remote to start mythfronted, the xrandr command runs first.</div>
