Make sure you install "nvidia-settings-190"
When running nvidia-settings GUI there is now a slid bar for the mighty
"overscan" option
However when adjusting it(only a single slid bar) I really don't see it
doing anything with the screen. Didn't spend much time
on it tonight will investigate again tomorrow. Also reading through the
documentation it looks like any changes made need to
be saved to
FILES
~/.nvidia-settings-rc
And read back in on a reboot or log off/log on
