Overscan won't go away.

Specs:

Xbox (not 1.6)
HDTV - 720p

I changed the HOC and VOC in linuxboot.cfg to 75 each. If the values are percentages, I would think that 75% is enough to correct the overscan.

Do I need to decrease it more?

TIA.

Well, I've tried the default values (hoc=X,voc=Y), and 25 x 25, among others. None of them do anything.

Is it because I'm in 720p?

I'll be searching in the meantime.

HOC doesnt affect HDTV... you need to use fbset for this.

Yeah, I've been working on that.

I've been following this thread, but I don't have an XF86Config-4 file in the /etc/X11/ directory. There's only an XF86Config.example file.

I've tried running XF86Config, XF86cfg, XFree86, etc. to generate one, but they don't work.

hello

I have an 1.6 Box.
My TV is a 16:9 Panasonic (but not HDTV)
I also have the Problem that the screen is too big.

Is there any chance to solve this problem ?
Would be nice if someone could help me out of this.

Without 480p, there's really not much that can be done to fix the overscan on 1.6's.
