Improper full screen resolution in NVIDIA metamode. #856

I'm running Emulationstation on a Linux Desktop (Ubuntu 18.04), using a 9800GT with analog video out (Component) to a 480i tube TV. This is going to be the brains for an authentic standup arcade machine. I've been fighting overscan issues in the OS for weeks, and finally have it sorted where I use a 720x480 signal, but letterbox down to a 640x440 display area in the center using an NVIDIA Xserver metamode.

Trouble is, when emulationstation starts and goes fullscreen, the top and right sides are cut off. The bottom left corner is in the correct spot, but it seems to set its size to the full 720x480, and so I lost 80 pixels off the right side and 40 pixels off the top. Other frontends such as attractmode and mehstation do not exhibit this behavior, and properly size their fullscreen modes.

I'm running the latest version, compiled today from this git, and would be more than happy to help solve the issue.

I am curious how you managed that as I am trying to do something similar. I am running Emulationstation as part of Retropie and because it does not run on X11 (not sure what GUI it does use) the method of using xrandr commands does not apply. So how does one configure EmulationStation for different screen resolutions and scan rates, e.g. PAL 480i over HDMI?
