[Watford] nvidia-settings-rc not saving

[Neel Upadhyaya]

I have the same problem, but with my ATI card.  Basically, any
overscan settings I set are lost.  I'm not sure this is soluble but
here's the checklist I'd recommend.

1. Check your xorg.conf for any auto configuration option, particularly:
2. Make sure the device that initiates the TV-out screen has DPMS
disabled, as this is likely to override any settings you have,
3. Download the latest SVN version of mythtv as it has screen adjust
built in which should circumvent any overscan issues you may have.
