video not filling screen

I'm using the S-Video out on a GeForce 4MX card to connect to my TV. The default X config is leaving a gap at the top of the display in both the menus and while playing video. I've already tweaked the overscan and that's not the issue. I'm guessing it's some of the X timing options. Does Sage have any built-in tools for tweaking X? Or shall I dive into doing it the old-fashioned way?

Thanks...

-Ben

Send a message via ICQ to _Demo_
This is a bug in the nvidia drivers, you can try the following :

Connect through ssh.
-press ctrl-C
emerge nvidia-settings
cd /opt/sagetv/app/
- if app doesn't exist, run ./lnapp.sh in /opt/sagetv
execute nano to edit the startsage script
nano startsage
-add those two lines after the #!/bin/sh line
nvidia-settings -a TVOverScan=24
nvidia-settings -a TVOverScan=25
- use ctrl-x, y, enter to save and exit

type reboot to restart the system.
