I'd assume the monitor (HDMI input) is doing the overscan,
since HDMI is suppose to be 'smart'. 
That what the link suggested.

NO, it works find with a dvi-d 2 dvi-d cable. The computer is
always dvi-d (to either dvi-d cable 1 or hdmi cable 2)..
so how could ati-driver be doing the hdmi (embedded) protocol?

NO, the only  pc setting is when you use a standard 15 pin
VGA cable and no protocol to adjust scan or scan ratesss....


I'm guessing I stuck with xorg.conf machinations.....
(oh boy, here we go again......)

Ideas?
