Yes, I see the picture too big - so overscan is enabled when it 
shouldn't be. I realise this is the stated support level on the Wiki, 
so I wanted to help either test or develop something better.

What puzzled me is the mod chip originally came with a BIOS which didn't 
have the overscan problem, which seemed to be based on Cromwell.

Also I want to use RGB, which also is not supported - though everything 
looks kinda cool in green :-)

Thanks,
Tim
