Screen larger than TVs screen
I've been working on setting up two X desktops with my Geforce Ti4400, all is going well and all is set up except for one problem, when it loads onto my 29 inch flat screen TV the screen is larger than the actual TV, making it so all you can see of the taskbar is the upper border, and all you can see of the desktop icons is the very right corner of them.. I've been reading the nvidia readme for hours and have come up with no solution to this problem.. any help would be greatly appreciated...
I'm running Mandrake 9.2 on a Athalon AMD 2100, 512mb of ram, etc..etc..

updates...
a little update.. not that anyone seems to have any solutions.. maybe someone will have a solution to my next problem (though the screen size still hasnt been fixed)
sinse installing nvidia drivers, and having two monitors, the mouse doesnt work unless i logout and log in and move my mouse while its initalizing the nvidia driver... otherwise no mouse... i had this fixed a little while ago.. figured out that it didnt work because it was setting the configuration for each mouse device differently.. now they're the exact same.. and it still wont work..... i cant find any solution to this.. every combination has been tried.... so i've figured out that the smaller the resolution, the closer to having the screen correctly sized i am.. if i have it at 320x240 the screen is sized correctly.. but obviously that resolution isnt gonna cut it.. especially considering its so small that video overlaps itself.. so at 640x480 im only loosing.. a half inch or so relative to my TV.. any help at all would be greatly appreciated... |
are you getting colors?
Hi, I'm trying to get TVout to work. The display is okay, but its all black and white. I'm also using the NTSC-M TVStandard since I'm in the US. Do you have any idea how to resolve that?
