hdmi - Control Over-Scanning in opensuse Linux

    Iv been trying to find a way to adjust over scanning in Linux.

    I have my Laptop running opensuse linux, and I am connecting it to a SONY HDTV @ 1080P via HDMI. However i cant find a way to turn off over scanning, making the picture extend off the screen.

    My Laptop uses intel HD and a NVIDIA GeForce 610m Graphics cards. I know this is possible in the intel control panel inside windows, hopefully this can also be controlled in Opensuse.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    ubuntu - Control Linux computer over the Internet?
  • Naftuli Tzvi Kay

    I'm just about to set up my own home network here and I'd like to be able to control my Linux desktop over the network. VNC would be what I would normally use in this case, but the requirements are a bit different.

    I basically need to be able to start work on something here on my desktop and continue that work seamlessly on a laptop or netbook as I'm moving around. I want to be able to literally pick up exactly where I left off and control my host computer's mouse pointer location, keyboard, etc and not have to open any windows: I need to be able to start from EXACTLY where I left off.

    Is there any way of doing this? I'm using Ubuntu if that helps.

    You're looking for x11vnc, which exports an existing login session over VNC.

    If your desktop's window manager is Compiz, Nomad makes this seamless. Otherwise you can use a headless Xvnc running your real desktop that you connect to from both your (otherwise empty) desktop session and your laptop, or use x11vnc to export your active desktop.

    You may alternately want to look into NX desktop sharing and shadow mode; see the NX Server Administrator’s Guide and BerliosProject:FreeNX - HowtoShadow for some details.
