There are three settings in the freevo.conf that affect the screen: geometry = 1024x768 width = 1024 height = 768 And overscan moves the boarders inwards, I use higher values because the tv is set larger than 4x3, so I lose the top and bottom of the screen: OSD_OVERSCAN_X = 40 OSD_OVERSCAN_Y = 40 I don't know why we have geometry, width and height.
