Hello All;
Thanks for taking the time to read my thread. I'm not new to the Ubuntu forum, and for some reason, it seems I now have a new acct.
I've been having major trouble trying to fix overscanning problems on my HDTV through the HD port. I've done plenty of reading and searched countless threads, youtube, etc. on ways to installing NVIDIA drivers. I believe I finally have done so, but I'm not sure if it's the correct one. I've made attempts to installing the downloaded package which I got from NVIDIA website (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-319.60.run), via "Terminal" and I was unsuccesful. I ended up with a black screen. What I've noticed is that this is a MAJOR concern; specially for those unfortunate like me, having NVIDIA.
A little about my computer:
AMD Athlon II X2 255 dual-core processor
4GB DDR3
2TB-"External HD"-This is where I'm running my current (ArtistX Linux System)
NVIDIA GeForce 9200
and more....
These are commands from "Terminal" obtained:
