[mythtv-users] overscan on PVR-350 tv-out

Guys,

Just got the tvout working on my PVR-350, and WOW.  Nice.

Only problem is, my wife uses this myth box for web surfing through the
television, and with my PVR-350 tvout the screen is too large for
displaying fully in on the tube.

Can this be controlled?  In the past, I could use nvtv with my GF2 card to
shrink the display down when she was surfing.  Anyway to do this with the
PVR-350 tvout?

Here's the relevant contents of my XF86Config (copied from the web).  I'm
not an X genius by any means, so perhaps you'll see something I don't. 
Thanks!!!:
