This could be how Nvidia X Server Settings program is detecting the monitor and what it offers for settings. It is detecting my monitor make and model and this monitor is providing settings it can use. In X server display configuration What does it have in selection: Does it give you anything you ...

I used QuickPet to install NVIDIA drivers Did you install only one of the drivers and only one of them??? If you installed more than one driver that will mess up the install. The nvidia driver has to only be one specific driver and only that driver. If you want a different driver. The Nvidia driver ...

But 'overscan'.....no. TBH, I'm not even sure what this is. Am I right, when looking at the image you've supplied, in thinking that you're running a CRT monitor there? 'Cos it sure looks like it to me. If it is, I'm pretty sure that such things always used to have adjustment controls for overscan ...

I will preface by saying, yes, I'm using an old ass PVM and that it is a source of constant issues (which is part of the FUN).

I think it's Grub4DOS, but I can verify that for you; how would I check? I can only boot with the USB if I select, fossapup64 9.5 - No Kernel Mode Setting. If I try to boot just fossapup64 9.5 from the USB I get a black screen and have to restart my computer. My issue is that I don't get the option ...

The only way I can seem to get Fossapup64 to boot on USB is by launching it in No KMS mode, otherwise I get a black screen. I don't see the same option on the internal HDD where I have a frugal installation. This particular computer also got a black screen when trying to run Windows 7, but works ...
