Hi Everybody,

I really would like to switch to GNU/Linux but i have some problems getting Trisquel 7.0 working on my HTPC.
Yesterday I installed GeForce 8400 GS 512 MB video card in my HTPC computer. the video card was detected by the OS without any problems
and is working fine.

I'm using a SAMSUNG 50" TV (HDMI) as my primary monitor (resolution 1920x1080, 60hz)
The resolution of 1920x1080 is automatically detected in the configuration settings. (which is good)

But the problem is that the top (small grey menu bar) and lower bar of the Trisquel desktop are not visible, so I cannot start any applications, etc.
(if I install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on the same computer I don't have this problem)
My SAMSUNG TV is detected as "SAM 7" on both Operating systems

What could be the case, that Trisquel 7.0 doesn't show my desktop good? is there a easy solutions for this?

If I were you I would read 'man xrandr' (in the terminal) and play with it. Once you get what you want, just write the relate command in the "Startup applications" (in the "System settings").

I think I'm going to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS again (because it was working with this OS) and view the "xrandr" settings
after this I shall install Trisquel 7.0 again and check were are differences in the settings and adjust them

It sounds like it could be an overscan issue on the Television. Look in the options menu and see if there are any overscan options
