BUT, I have to reiterate, that this is not my issue.  I am hoping that someone here could help with 
the text being mis-formatted or mis-configured for the tv.  

I have tried /boot/msdos/config.txt

	Have tried framebuffer settings --- unreadable or still off screen

	Have tried overscan settings --- no useable change

Have not tried firmware
 
FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-arm-armv6-RPI-B.img

Thanks for any help,

--e




So I seem to have succeeded in setting the TV resolution right.

TV:
The size of the screen is 11.25 / 8.5 (inches high/wide). The TV has
Video and Audio single RCA jacks in and out. There is also some recessed
adjustment screws for "focus" and "screen". Screen changes the
brightness.


config.txt:

### appears to work 12-14-14 ###

framebuffer_width=600
framebuffer_height=500
framebuffer_depth=16
overscan_left=0
overscan_right=0
overscan_top=-10
overscan_bottom=-10
overscan_disable=0

### above is edit  #####




disable_commandline_tags=1
gpu_mem=32
device_tree=rpi.dtb
device_tree_address=0x100
kernel=uboot.img




Have a good day,
