screen resolution
Couldn't find a discussion on this proper screen res. for viewing xbmc.

Heres is what I have. Xbian version 1.0a.5 on a 8gb sd card.

Loaded and worked immediately on a Toshiba 42" through an HDMI cable. My TV remote recognized the Rpi through Regza. Also loaded Yatse on a Nexus7 which recognized the setup. I am pulling content from a NAS.

At 1024 x 768 60Hz the screen doesnt use all of available screen. At the next size down , the menu and other content runs off of the screen by 3-5 %. Are there settings to adjust this?

Thanks,

Rick Helvey

RE: screen resolution
you can use xbmc's calibration:

settings -> system -> video -> video calibration

or disable_overscan=(0|1) in /boot/config.txt ...

mk
