      Hi Guys,

      I have recently updated my Pi4 to the latest beta firmware and manually installed RP. All was working fine, but once I did the firmware upgrade, whenever I goto ES and it launches full screen, the image is all garbled. I can launch other games outside Retro Pie and they display the same problem. If I go windowed mode, its fine but all full screen images are garbled. What is the fix please? Note. when I disable underscan in raspi-config the full screen image displays correctly, but then I have black borders all around the screen. I have added disable_overscan=1
      overscan_scale=1 lines to my /boot/config.txt file that doesnt make any difference.

      Pi Model or other hardware: 4
      Power Supply used: Official Raspberry Pi 4 Power Supply (USB-C)
      RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.6
      Built From: RetroPie installed manually on Raspbian Buster image (stock)
      USB Devices connected: USB keyboard.
      Controller used: DS4

        We don't support running EmulationStation in a desktop environment - you should run EmulationStation from the console terminal and try to reproduce the issue.
