Choosing the correct monitor size

My BBB boots up but thinks that my 21.5" ViewSonic monitor is a 22" ViewSonic monitor. As a result the top menu bar is mostly off screen and the bottom status bar is mostly off screen. Is there a way to tell the angstrom linux to choose the correct monitor size?

Thanks,
Alan

That sounds like you have "overscan" enabled thru your monitors controls..

Robert,

My monitor had two inputs for HDMI (HDMI AV and HDMI PC). By changing the selection on the inputs menu to HDMI PC I got rid of the overscan.

Thanks,
Alan
