[SOLVED] disable_overscan=1 not working

[obo]

I do use the "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" option, and find it does switch from the 720p UI to 1080p video as required. That was a relief as my TV panel is 720p but for some reason only supports 24Hz with a 1080p input.

I'd be surprised if the Wide setting makes a difference, as I'm using it fine with other Pi distros. It's easy to check though, so worth a go. As it happens I did have a look through the other TV settings for mentions of overscan, as I think the 42" model has additional options controlling SD/HD content. I couldn't find anything controlling it on mine though.

I can probably manage for now using the video adjustment to fix the overscan within XBMC. Though I would still like to get to the bottom of the issue, if only so I can use the console after exiting XBMC — I'm currently missing a text row from top/bottom, and 4 characters left/right, which makes editing on the device a bit awkward. I can ssh in, but it either means doing it on my phone or going upstairs to my PC.

It does look like it's a firmware issue, so I'll see if I can narrow down the revision it was introduced to report it. I give the latest development XBian a try to, to check if it's the same as 1.0a4.
