Annoying, I can relate....

I upgraded a 10.04 mythbuntu on a CF connected via VGA to a 40C6200 
Samsung that was working fine to 10.10 on a SSD which suddenly needed 
overscan adjustment however as it was running 1080i overscan adjustment 
was not available.  I could not find a xorg.conf that fixed it.  Maybe 
someone can suggest? If I wasn't able to vnc in to get the full 1080i 
(on a 1920x1200 screen) I'd have asked earlier.  To be clear nothing 
else was changed hardware wise.

The description seems designed to make a support person cross eyed.... 
Sounds like a cable / connection issue?  Are Green and Blue there?
