Subject: [gentoo-user] Getting X11 to "underscan"...

1 When I connect the iMac to our HDTV TV, I can set it to underscan. The
2 reason that I would like to do that is because when I display at 1080p
3 the TV ends up dropping the edges of the image off of the screen. This
4 isn't really a problem at all for TV, or movies or whatever displayed
5 there, but if KDE displays the standard panel on the top or bottom, only
6 a thin line of pixels shows where it is supposed to be (don't know about
7 left or right as I haven't used them). This also ends up being an issue
8 in MATE. Is there a way to get it to send a 1080p signal which is
9 postboxed in the sense that black bars are being added top, bottom,
10 left, and right? These black bars are "outside" the interface.
