From what I all read about it:
* Windows: Use your nVidia system drivers to fix your overscan. It is included in their windows drivers.
* Linux: this overscan-feature is missing in their driver soft. Use xrandr to fix te problem, and launch the command that resets your resolution at startup time.
Though, left and right there is a small black vertical zone left.
* From the latest I've read about this, on many TV's you'll find a overscan setting to switch on or off. I also found it on mine, but didn't test it. (Panasonic plasma)
HTH
right. except that:
* i am not on nvidia, running intel x4500 (g41) graphics.
* xrandr doesnt help, no resolution higher than 1024x768 is shown without overscan. at least i have not found a modeline that is and i've tried 10s of them.
* my tv does not have any overscan adjustability unfortunately
so unless an integrated web browser appears or i get a better TV, i think i'm S.O.L. right?
