hdmi and RaLink RT2860 problems


Hi Im running Linux mint 7 Gloria 64 bit version with a NVIDIA card on a newli Fijitsu Siemens amilon computer. Im connected to a sony lcd 40" tv via hdmi, the computer only has hdmi and dvi out for a monitor and no vga. Im having overscan problems that I havnt been able to fix and done a lot of searching online and there does not seem to be any real fixes for this. I have no sound through the hdmi and that seems to be a very common problem also. NVIDIA drivers on windows have an overscan fix option and I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a fix on the way for the linux drivers?

Problem 2 is the computer has a built in RaLink wireless modem with the RT2860 chipset that works like a charm when not using wpa encryption but unable to connect to a wpa encrypted network, also done lots of research and seems like the wpa is broken in the built in kernel, anyone know if a fix for that is coming?

well i guess no one has a solution, I thought so been thouroughly googling without answeres or workable solutions. Seen modlines being mentioned as solutions but cant find anyone who actually made it work at least not without some real skills
