This is "overscan", and is something you have to disable in your monitor if possible. Often this is done by using a different input port, by changing the name or 'type' of the connection (ie: game, PC, etc), or sometimes with an aspect or size button. ...and on some monitors you can't disable overscan at all, or on specific screen resolutions. I have a monitor that "overscans" HD resolutions (720p and 1080i), but doesn't overscan computer resolutions (1024x768). > Second problem.

Hmm...I think there's a way to run the setup script without checking the network, but it might be easier to just swap the wireless dongle for the mouse (assuming your wireless dongle works with the BBB). You don't need the GUI to create the SD card, and you can just press: <ctrl><alt><F1> ...to switch to a console prompt where you don't need the mouse. -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected]
