If you have a 1.6, the only way to solve this is to run Gentoox in 480p mode. Otherwise, there isn't a fix for that right now.

I am running it in 480p mode, or at least thats what I set it to in xbvset. How do you get to hoc and voc?

If I remember correctly from your other thread, you have a 1.6. In that case, you can't change hoc (horizontal overscan correction) or voc (vertical overscan correction) because the video encoder in 1.6's doesn't support overscan correction, thus xbvset doesn't let you change those options, as changing them would be useless.

Why? That will only make the overscan problem worse.

Oh, I was just going to try it because it was the only other video setting. Any other suggestions on how to fix it?

Cool, also, if you do get an older Xbox, get your RAM upgraded, it'll make Gentoox run a lot faster.
