HDMI settings

[Hextejas]

I did a fresh install of ver 1.05a and got nothing but a black screen
So, I modified config.txt to be:

Hdmi_safe=1

Now it's running, but the picture occupies the middle of the screen with giant, wide, black bars on the right and left.
So, what other HDMI settings should I use to get a full HD screen ?

Thanks

Well, I am getting close.
Truth be told, the instructions are a bit difficult to decipher.
Where I am now is that a group=1 and mode=5 is very close.
The picture fills the screen and is pretty sharp.
The only problems that I have are that the display spills off the edges of the screen and I don't know what to do. Example in that the home button for XBMC is almost out of reach.
It might be another setting that I could use to shrink the display a little bit but I am hoping that you can point me to the correct setting. I read them a bit and they don't give me a clue.

So close, so close.

Thanks again

Oh yeah, before I forget, do the licenses for mpg2 and wvc1 have any effect on watching videos or sound ?
I didn't buy them but will,if needed.
