nVidia TV-out
 
Hi
I have a stupid problem!
I have Mandrake 9.2, TNT2 card and nVidia installed. I have also installed NVTV. Everythings working except that the picture on the TV is zoomed in a lot! I have tried different resolutions but they are all still zoomed in so i cant see for example the startmeny and the panel at the bottom. This is very irritating and enoying!!!

What can i do about it???

I mean the picture on the TV-screen is fine except i dont want to look on movies that is zoomed in or scaled!!! Please, i really need help with this!

Read the nVidia readme and learn to set up lots and lots and lots of metamodes :) The more you have, the more chances of your card finding a decent resolution for the tv.

i have tried the resolutions i have in Windowx XP (In Windows XP everything works just fine) to see if the problems gonna be solved but ok i have to enter more resolutions then, but will it fix the zooming problem???

Its not zooming, its setting up a virtual resolution. Your screen resolution is higher than your display resolution. It means you don't have enough/proper metamodes for the display to do a native resolution.

Overscan bitches.
In your Screen section of XF86config-4 you can add an option for Overscan to shrink or expand the display size on the TV. Read the nvidia readme for the syntax.
