This is not a Pine issue. You have to set the scaling / overscan on your TV correctly. Check here: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=1401

Quite so. It would be nice if the OS auto-detects and adjusts to the screen being used, though. Perhaps something for the future?

Or perhaps adopt a similar solution to what the Raspberry Pi had done in 2012, which was to provide a config file that was visible on the boot partition, which allowed you to configure overscan parameters (amongst other things). Not that I should be mentioning Raspberry Pi on the Pine64 forum! Exclamation  Tongue

No problem mentioning successful solutions to problems Smile

Something similar would be very useful, yes.
