That is to be expected. I'm not an expert on analog TVs, but I think analog TVs always have non-visible areas. Some TVs show more of the total frame, and some show less. You need to adjust the overlay position and size so that it's fully visible on the TV. I guess there are some sane defaults that are more or less ok for every TV out there, and omapfb could use those defaults, but I haven't really had time to study the TV out. > > [not 100% related] The documentation says that TI is working on > the V4L2 support.
