Hi,
Had an XBMC system for ages, I think it's running on top of ubuntu 11.10 now, although not 100% on when I last updated it. Probably when I upgraded to Eden whenever that came out. It's a Zotac ION board underneath. Either way, it's been working fine for years.
Anyway, nvidia's powermizer was doing my head in and I finally decided to do something about it - but nothing I'd tried seemed to be working so I thought I'd update the nvidia driver to see if that helped. I did so, installing the latest 310.19 version and rebooted. Overscan was immediately wrong so I went into the XBMC's system settings and reconfigured it. All appeared well.
Except now, when I play videos, it's like I hadn't made a change to the overscan settings. The OSDs are slightly offscreen, as is the video (I can tell because the BBC logo on get_iplayer'd content is cut off. Changing zoom settings to a custom zoom (0.96) brings the video back OK but not the OSD.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
