720p on a DLP HDTV system
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2005 8:36 pm
I'm on day 2 of trying to install gentoox. After searching and finding that I had to turn off all hd modes in the microsoft dashboard to get gentoox to boot, I now see a neat 720p picture on my HDTV set but it has a lot of overscan.
Now, I've read practically every post here that discusses overscan (most times more than once) but I can't find a simple tutorial that steps through the process of calibrating gentoo using fbset. I did see mention of keeping some numbers adding up to a certain amount but it still wasn't clear what I was doing or even if that amount (total) was correct for my set.
Does anybody have a clear understanding about what all the numbers are after fbset? The help page for fbset has many arguments but I don't see a template that will tell me what each argument corresponds to when I do the "fbset -g 960 540 960 540 960 540 32 -t 29195 24 14 12 3 16 2" command.
In short, I need help. Any tutorial or guidance I can take to calibrate my screen would be valuable. Thanks for reading.
