It might be possible to set up X11 to avoid the overscan area. Have to give that some thought.
For non-X11 applications, (and even for X11 if it turns out to be non-trivial to avoid the overscan area) it would be handy if there was a way for the software mode and the actual hardware mode to be different. The software would see fewer pixels so that it wouldn't paint things in the overscan area. Given the limited resolution of standard resolution TVs, it would be good to let the user fine tune the software mode to match the actual overscan of their particular TV. Hmmm... This is basically just a different application of the same capability in my previous posting. (Allowing the firmware to talk at 640x480 and a fixed-frequency monitor to receive say 1280x1024.) _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
