The MX440SE does support overscan in the NVidia driver. I'm running this setup right now. To the original poster: did you set the overscan in your XF86Config file? Read the readme that comes with the NVidia driver for how to do this.
With overscan set to 1.0, I can't imagine you'd have any underscan. 1.0 on my setup only lets me see about 50% of the picture, it's so overscanned. I have it set to 0.7 and it's pretty good.
