I don't understand why, using X-DSL, the desktop is bigger than tv
screen; so I can't see many icons, windows, etc.
This also happens using some emulators like xboyadvance.
What can I do?
Thanks!

This is probably caused by your TV's overscan. Overscan cuts off the
edges of the screen. Most games take this into account and so you never
notice it.

So I must buy another TV? Or there is a solution less expensive?
Thank you very much for the answer
