[mythtv-users] The nvidia-settings tool and Myth (keeping overscan right)

[Jim Oltman]

For me, this isn't a solution.  When I reboot my machine with a
different OVERSCAN setting, it actually takes on the screen with the
SHOW/HIDE DETAILS because that fills in the entire screen just like I
want.  When it goes into KDE, it doesn't keep that overscan.  This is
confusing to me because I thought that in the SHO/HIDE details screen,
X has already been started.  Am I missing something?
