Hey man I jsut got done futzing with this about 2 days ago. Here is what is happening. You are either using the twinview that nvida supplies with it's driver like I am or you are using the standard X stuff to get 2 screens. Anyway, I tried the same thing with my mythtv and X is either told or figures out that the desktop is an average of the 2 display sizes. Right now I am running in clone mode, with my desktop only 800x600. My complaint is that when I was using different sizes for the tv and monitor, even if you tell mythfrontend to start in a certain size and location it still renders the fonts for the average desktop size. Kinda looks like crap. I would ultimately like to have the tv above and the monitor below, but until I can get mythfrontend to behave like I expect it to, I am stuck with 800x600 clone on my monitor.
I haven't gotten to trying any of the overscaning stuff yet, but my understanding from reading the nvida driver notes is that you cannot do this unless you have a card with a tuner on it.. not sure why... but that's what it says.
