[07:38] <rickchristie1> hi i need some advice on channel scanning kaffiene gets great reception but myth is crap
[12:17] <qwebirc68520> I am still using a CRT as my wife has little time for TV
[12:18] <qwebirc68520> The problem I have is overscan. I have tried the setup in myth frontend and it
[12:19] <qwebirc68520> does not seem to work as expected, is there a zoom feature on video card driver for nvidia
[13:29] <qwebirc68520> does anyone know how to fix overscan issues. I have been trawling forums for ages trying different things wih no luck
[13:30] <qwebirc68520> I tried usig the mythtv gui but although it does scale the image it does not offset the left corner
[13:30] <mycosys> nvidia?
[13:30] <qwebirc68520> yes nvidia proprietry
[13:30] <mycosys> what output?
[13:31] <qwebirc68520> tried nvidia-settings but no slider and tried the attributes but I get an error when I list then
[13:31] <qwebirc68520> them
[13:31] <mycosys> what output
[13:31] <qwebirc68520> PALB TVOUT
[13:31] <qwebirc68520> or TV-0
[13:32] <qwebirc68520> with an CRT. My wife does not believe we need a widescreen yet
[13:32] <mycosys> yeah
[13:32] <mycosys> run nvidia-settings
[13:32] <qwebirc68520> she thinks it may cause the kids to watch more tv
[13:33] <mycosys> Nvifia linux Chapter 16. Configuring TV-Out
[13:33] <mycosys> grrr
[13:33] <qwebirc68520> nvidia-settings gui does not have the slider in the gui at lease that I can can see
[13:33] <mycosys> http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.09/README/chapter-16.html
[13:33] <Zinn> [us.download.nvidia.com] Chapter 16. Configuring TV-Out
[13:33] <mycosys> should be under tv-0
[13:33] <qwebirc68520> looking at it now
[13:33] <mycosys> the slider
[13:34] <mycosys> but you only use that for figuring out which setting you need
[13:34] <mycosys> you need to set tv standard in xorg.conf
[13:35] <qwebirc68520> any idea why a get this error when running nvidia-settings -q all
[13:35] <qwebirc68520> he program 'nvidia-settings' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.   (Details: serial 420 error_code 8 request_code 140 minor_code 4)   (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
[13:35] <mycosys> you also need to add nividia settings to your .xsessionrc to set overscan and turn off powermiser and turn on flicker filter
[13:35] <mycosys> no idea
[13:38] <mycosys> i have 'nvidia-settings -a GPUOverclockingState=1 -a [gpu:0]/GPU2DClockFreqs=300,450 -a GPU3DClockFreqs=300,450 -a [gpu:0]/GPUPowerMizerMode=1 -a [gpu:0]/TVFlickerFilter=1 -a [gpu:0]/TVOverScan=66' in my xsessionrc but the first three are for underclocking it
[13:39] <qwebirc68520> how do I turn off powermiser and what is it
[13:39] <qwebirc68520> ignore that last question, I get it
[13:40] <mycosys> yo9u will probably need to create ~/.xsessionrc
[13:41] <qwebirc68520> does it need elevated priveledges
[13:41] <mycosys> no
[13:41] <qwebirc68520> I guess not, silly question its only a config file and not private key
[13:42] <mycosys> is a user config, not a machine config is more the isuue lol
[13:42] <mycosys> *issue
[13:45] <qwebirc68520> just my luck cant paste to vnc session. some other bug
[13:47] <mycosys> ew @ vnc
[13:48] <mycosys> try winswitch / xpra
[13:49] <mycosys> or plain ol x forwarding if thats ur preference
[14:03] <qwebirc68520> no luck with scaling although the flicker filter works well
[14:03] <qwebirc68520> text is silky smooth
