PLEASE help me solve thsi: display problem with nvida

[Grimace78]

I am about to snap. I have spent more time than I care to admit trying to deal with this overscanning issue. I'm using a 32 inch magnavox lsd, that works fine with a vga cable, but overscans with hdmi (which is the only way I get sound). I've tried every setting in the terminal I can think of, and it has ZERO effect on my image output or the graphical display of my xconf settings. Here is my settings. PLease help if you can. The only thing that had any effect at all was using the virtual option, but it (as best as I can describe it) was showing to screens, one was the right size, the other wasn't, and the system couldn't seem to figure out which one it wanted to display. Like I said, the xconfig file generated in the terminal seems to have no effect on the settings displayed in the graphically displayed settings for the nvidia x server settings

If it helps I am running Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit
3.6.5 kernel
z68p-ds3 mobo
Nvidia GTX550ti gpu

Wow. Just figured out that the x server and the xorg.config file are not the same same thing. LOL. I really feel like an idiot.

Can you post the end result? I have what is probably the same magnavox screen and it is killing me!

Thanks
