The select key (usually enter) should swap between the top-left and
bottom-right corners. Depending on the overscan, you may not see one
corner or another without moving it to the center of the screen. Older
versions of MythTV (prior to 0.27) did not function properly if you
tried to use the wizard when you were already using a custom geometry.
0.27 starts it in a new application and forces an unconfigured geometry
to bypass this issue.
Since you've already discovered and configured the geometry settings,
those are the end product of the screen setup wizard. The wizard is
just there to get you close to the desired setting, after which you can
fine tune.
