Hi, I Discovered that the framebuffer_width and framebuffer_height sizes seem to work but the overscan_left, overscan_right, etc. not as much. I have settled on framebuffer_width=720 framebuffer_height=400 referenced a well commented config.txt although solely added the two framebuffer entries to the existing config.txt because the overscan did not seem to work. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Evilpaul/RPi-config/master/config.txt Thanks for any advice, ito On Sun, 2014-11-02 at 03:46 -0500, ito wrote: > Is there anyone with an idea as to how I can stop the text from spilling > off the screen. > > The display is in excess of 1/2 an inch all around. > > Thanks, > > ito > > > > On Fri, 2014-10-31 at 13:00 -0400, ito wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I have a raspberry pi, > > > > Model B Revision 2.0 (512MB) > > which has the logo along with: > > Raspberry Pi > > (c)2011.12 > > written on it. > > > > I have obtained a image for freebsd to run from here: > > > > ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/10.0/ > > > > > > I uncompressed the image on a OpenSUSE system, and used, > > > > sudo dd if=FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-arm-armv6-RPI-B-20140131-r260789.img > > of=/dev/sdd > > > > to put the image on a micro SD... with that card and adapter I have > > successfully boot freebsd. > > > > The problem I am facing now is that I am using the yellow SVGA (RCA type > > plug) cables to use an old Television as a monitor, with this setup I > > have an issue with the text running off of the screen. > > > > I have tried the config.txt file with > > overscan_disable=0 > > overscan_left=20 > > overscan_right=20 > > overscan_top=20 > > overscan_bottom=20 > > > > > > added to the existing config.txt > > > > > > > > I have tried to load vesa: > > > > kldload vesa > > > > where I get a prompt that it does not exist. > > > > I looked in the kernel directory (/boot/kernel/) and there is no vesa, > > not sure what that means. > > > > > > I am assuming that there is something that is not happening with the > > config.txt.
