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.
