Default Nvidia and tv image
Hi all.

This is my first outing with bsd. I will be straight here, Ive been a user of Linux mint / Ubuntu for years but the problem I had with that seems to be happening here too.

The image on my tv screen has a 1" black area around it. In short, its not detecting my monitor properly.

The Linux distro's seem to be experiencing problems with Nvidia drivers. On your bsd, I can't seem to see what drivers are being used. Is this the same deal?

Does anyone know how I can correct the screen image so that the whole screen is used?

Would appreciate any and all help!

Regards,
(EDIT) This post is based on an installation of pcbsd 8. As I type, I'm installing PCBSD 9. The whole screen is being used during installation just as it was installing 8. The shrunken image seems to take effect post install. Cheers.

Do you run your tv ouput as a clone of your other monitor with Nvidia settings?
