What you are looking for is called overscan and it is done differently depending on what video card you have.

I guess the first question would be how did you get it working, ati cards are notoriously bad with tvout on linux, and there are a couple of different drivers that may partially work.

I really don't think you are going to have much luck adjusting it when running the frontend from cd, as most of the adjustments must be made in the XF86Config-4 file, and I'm pretty sure that will be read-only when running from cd.

well I can modify that file, but what i'd like to do, is to run the frontend from my laptop, from a cd or network

I would prefer modify the knoppMyth cd or create a network boot installation for my laptop.

You replied me in a previous post, that some users reports how they do to customize the boot cd, do you remember in which section of the forum ?

Thanks
