For me, this isn't a solution.  When I reboot my machine with a
different OVERSCAN setting, it actually takes on the screen with the
SHOW/HIDE DETAILS because that fills in the entire screen just like I
want.  When it goes into KDE, it doesn't keep that overscan.  This is
confusing to me because I thought that in the SHO/HIDE details screen,
X has already been started.  Am I missing something?

I've noticed that X/nvidia-drivers occasional reset such things as the overscan, and if this happens, nvdia-settings only re-asserts this if it *thinks* the value's changed (hence running that doesn't do anything as the last formally applied setting is the correct one). <Alt-Ctrl-F1> console swapping does it, e.g.


My workaround is that I have mythfrontend in a loop in my auto-start script (so if it crashes it auto-restarts unless I've 'touch'ed /tmp/myth.die).

I've also saved an alternate .nvidia-setttings file with a subtly different overscan bvalue, and in the re-run loop, I call nvidia-settings twice in succession (once with the alt. file, once with the real one) before mythfrontend.

This causes a minor jiggle, but at least it auto-fixes it if it's gone wrong. That plus the 'power off' fix [kills/starts the front-end] from Jarod's site means it's quite easy to get around.

You could always irxec a script to do just nvidia-settings if you've a spare button.
