Yeah, it's an adjustment screw or potentiometer near the yoke on the tube, assuming it's a CRT. You just don't see the geometry problem with sources that overscan. Actually, most good televisions have calibration menus available from the remote that are not documented in the consumer manual. I highly recommend that you DO NOT ACCESS THIS MENU, because you really can end up needing to send the TV back to the manufacturer for service if you screw it up badly enough. If you're really concerned about it, there are AV specialists who can calibrate your television for you. I can recommend an extremely talented and mild-mannered AV tech in rural Ohio. > (4) If the answer is "no" to the first 3 questions, why can a > Nintendo tune in my television better than $500 in computer hardware? Because the Nintendo is designed from the ground up to display to a television and a $500 computer is not. Look, my Freevo system uses a G400 dual head card and i have none of these problems, and when playing, oh, lets say a DVD, the output is comprable to my Philips DVD player. I don't think I've used fbset even once since switching to dfbmga. Are you sure you're actually using dfbmga? What can you tell us about your configuration? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
