Hello,
I have done some perusing and found that my 'problem' is quite common (http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/...rder-around-screen-boot-screen-chameleon.html).
That being said, none of the solutions in any of the threads I have seen give me the answer I want. So far, it seems that 9 out of 10 of these threads lead to this one: http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/121519-nvidia-how-get-rid-black-border.html
While the solutions there worked to an extent, they keep getting erased every time I do something with the MBR. Also, this solution only worked with my OS X and Windows installations, and not with Linux or during the BIOS screens.
In the second thread mentioned above, the author says that this issue can be fixed by flashing a new vBios to your graphics card that changes the scaling setting within the hardware. This thought has been reciprocated online, but none of the threads I've read thus far give any hint as to how to go about doing this.
Would anyone be able to explain in a little detail how to do this?
