<div><br></div><div>I put made the last two lines of /etc/gdm/Init/Default as below. Experiment with the 20 number. I can't remember what the settings are but if you make the 20 a 50 you will see what it does. Just restart X to see. Also, my TV screen is TV-0, if yours is different, change that too.</div>
<div><br></div><div>nvidia-settings -a TVOverScan[TV-0]=20<br></div><div>exit 0</div></div></blockquote></div><br>I have tried this as well as adding it to my ~/.nvidia-settings-rc and then calling nvidia-settings -l at using the gnome session settings. Neither of these works. I think the overscan setting is not available in the driver for the 8400gs. When you run nvidia-settings gui there is no overscan option anymore. <br>
<br>Is there something I can do with modelines? I don't know anything about them butI have seen people talking about getting them right for a specific TV. Are they only an issue with HDTV LCDs?<br><br>It is incredibly frustrating because this is a newly built system and thought I got all the hardware right so that I could leave behind several little nuiscances I was dealing with because my old hardware. Now all I have done is replaced them with a new set of annoyances. <br>
<br>Any other ideas about fixing this overscan issue would make me very pleased.<br>
