Let me clarify. I didn't mean to imply that there wasn't *any*
hardware there to do it. I was saying the the hardware that the old
drivers relied on was no longer present or significantly changed. So
to get the overscan adjustment that portion of the driver will have to
be rewritten to work with the new hardware. The fact that it is
available in Windows implies, as I said earlier, that they have
already rewritten the code for the Windows driver, but not for the
Linux driver.
