I'm not sure the name of the setting elsewhere, but when I was running a Mac Mini to my tv there was an option called "Overscan" which fit the description of your symptoms.. If it was on, the edges of the desktop were beyond the bounds of the screen.

I was using two 1680x1050 monitors, but I dropped the first one and replaced it with a DVI-to-HDMI cable to my 1920x1080 HDTV. I'm having a problem configuring this properly. I want two separate X screens. I can only get it to work with both at 1680x1050. In fact, if I change the HDTV setting to be 1920x1080, it reverts to 1680x1050. If I disable the second monitor and use only the HDTV and tell it to use 1920x1080, if I get it to do that (or get both X/Nvidia and the HDTV to say that's what they are doing), a lot of the desktop is off the edges of the screen and not visible. There is something called Xinerama. If I enable Xinerama, nothing works (I think I was getting no X) and it tells me that RANDR is not available. I would greatly appreciate any tips you can share. Thanks.
