TV-Out image is stretched out over edges

Laban · 2009-05-27 23:49:29

I'm using an Nvidia 9500 GT card for my new HTPC and for some reason it stretches the picture out over the edges of the TV, causing some parts (like the Gnome menu bar) to disappear. When I tested Wintendo XP on the same machine I got the same problem with the freshes Nvidia driver, but not if I rolled back a few versions. Sadly that's not the case with the Linux driver.

Has anyone else seen this or know what to do about it?

To make it more complicated (but a side story really), is that I have another monitor connected to the machine in a TwinView/Clone setup. This monitor does not have any problems with the picture being stretched over the edges.

Nvidia driver: 180.51
