ive had Ubuntu on my laptop for a couple of months and i like it very much, so i decided to install it on my home PC.
my PC is not connected to a conventional monitor, its connected to my 32" HD TV via DVI to HDMI cable.
the problem is that about 1/4 of an inch off each side is off screen. i had the same issue with vista but used the nVidia drivers to shrink the desplay down a bit.
my graphics card is an XFX 8800GT
in Ubuntu i have the resolution set to 1280 X 720 and the display is detected as UNKNOWN
any help would be fantastic but do bare in mind that i am a bit of a Linux noob
thanks
