Stats of what I'm running: TV: HP MediaSmart TV 47" / OS: Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit / Video Card: Nvidia GeForce GT 220 / Video Driver: Nvidia 260.19.06

When I first setup Ubuntu on this computer, after rebooting, the display resolution did not save. I eventually fixed this by manually changing the display to the correct resolution in the xorg.conf file. But I'm still unable to make the overscan setting persist after a reboot. I've tried adding "nvidia-settings -l" to my autostart, but this does nothing. I've also run the Nvidia Settings app with sudo and saved the changes, but this hasn't fixed the issue either. I also noticed that there is a .nvidia-settings-rc file in my home directory that stores settings and there is a field "HTPC64:0.0/OverscanCompensation[DFP-1]=115" which IS correct, but this file and/or settings related to it don't seem to be saving because I still have to manually adjust the overscan in the Nvidia Settings after a reboot. What else can I do to resolve this?

I'm really surprised nobody has replied to this yet because I've seen some amazingly intelligent people providing solutions on this site. And I really don't think the problem I'm having is that difficult to figure out (at least for one of the pros). For now, I have temporarily fixed this myself by adding a startup shortcut that runs the command: "nvidia-settings --assign 0/OverscanCompensation[DFP-1]=115". However, this overscan issue is a problem before I ever login. I'd REALLY like to find a way to fix it before I'm even logged in. Can someone please help? – John 'Shuey' Schuepbach Jan 19 at 5:30
