 |
|
| I have a 62" HDTV and using an nvidia card with DVI outputs. Problem is that xorg is posting a screen bigger than the actual space the tv has so it is clipping a little on the edges. I tried to use xvidtune, but I could not get that to make it more narrow and shorter. Any suggestions? Thanks |

| How are you configuring xorg? Show us you xorg.conf if you have tried doing the "Xorg -configure" procedure. |

I let Fedora make this,

Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "Files"
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, a font server independent of the X server is
# used to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:7100"
EndSection
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "extmod"
Load "fbdevhw"
Load "glx"
Load "record"
Load "freetype"

EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))
# Option "Xleds" "1 2 3"
# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
# Option "XkbDisable"
# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
#

from my experience fedora sucks at xorg auto configure stuff...
Use Xorg -configure, to generate a configfile in /root/xorg.conf.new
Then test it out with X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
Another way is to figure out what max resolution your screen runs at |

Setting HorizSync and VertRefresh and using xvidtune may help.
greetings. |

| I still can't get it to be more narrow. On regular monitors there are buttons to offset and shrink the screen. On this tv there isn't that option. Does xorg.conf have any settings for this? |

buy a professionl tv ?
Consumer grade tv usually have a non negligiable overscan ( around 5% ) that better sets don't have.
I think that if you use the DVI connector, changing syncs wont help much as the signal is digital.
Maybe more useful, you could try editing your sessions files and add -geometry to the wm. I'm really not sure if it will work, but that would be where I'd look.
or maybe a virtual desktop size smaller than the screen ? (is that possible?) |
