Fabrizio,
    good to hear you are further along.

If I recall the code initialization correctly, there is not any options for us to do much when opening the framebuffer channel. It is my belief that all of that is done in the kernel, which is why tinkering with that conf file makes things work.

Launching startx, I see that the graphics covers the full screen (some pixels are clipped out, so X11 would really require some overscan, even though a smaller amount). But now JavaFX covers the full screen. Also for JavaFX there are some pixels clipped out. This is not a problem for me: I think that it's up to the JavaFX application to correct for overscan, by simply putting some space around the true contents.
