[mythtv-users] 9400GT PCI - No Overscan - Odd!

[Tortise]

Been mucking around trying to get a mythbuntu jaunty box to behave as a front-end and managed to uninstall the nvidia glx and then the box would not start X.  Tell it to restart X, press cancel and it started into some damn thing which was X like but apparently not nvidia X, according to NVIDIA X Server Settings the NVIDIA X driver was not being used.  Display said it was running at 800x600.  As it is can still remote in using VNC so I am assuming some sort of X was running, Xorg was running as a process.

The odd thing was there was no overscan that was expected normally even at this resolution.  This was over component into a 32" semi-HD CRT.  

Can anyone make sense of that as I was still expecting overscan, certainly from a default desktop?

Can we exploit that somehow?  I imagine the answer is if you want vdpau (I do on this box) then one has to run nvidia's glx >= 180.xx....   Still odd that there was no overscan!
