I'm afraid I still haven'ot had time to clean up my new tv code which allows tweaking of overscan on vt1622. It's still at the top of my todo list.
I'll try and at least get some 'test' code out asap .

That's not what I meant. I'm using 720x480Noscale, and if I create a full 
screen bitmap that has a border around the screen at about an inch from the 
edges, with lines through the middle vertically and horizontally plus a 
circle in the middle (using Via's windows drivers as a reference), the 
openchrome drivers display the circle as an oval (too narrow) with the border 
to the right is almost 2 inches from the edge (this being on a 26" TV). I'd 
like to find a way to get the openchrome drivers to produce the same visual 
in sizing as the Via drivers do in windows (with full overscan).

I assume the modeline that is being used for the NTSC resolution needs 
tweaking, but I don't know where to start. xvidtune just gives me a garbled 
display.
