Re: Desktop is blank - mouse can go off the screen
Your HDTX is in an 'overscan' mode where the top, bottom and sides are 'trimmed'.
You have two options:
(1) The TV may offer a 1-for-1 1920x1080 mode (mine does and I am typing this using that TV as the monitor).
(2) Your other choice is to set over scan compensation This create a 'black frame' around your desktop so all the menus are visible.
Option 1 is best (check your TV manual or <if male> fool with the TV settings).
Option 2 has to be set in the setup screen your proprietary drivers installed. You did not mention the brand of graphics card you are using.
