That doesn't help either... :( But I think Cedric interpreted this right so it gives me an idea on what is going on. I have also just such a TV. It, by default, insists on "zooming in" to cut out the content around the borders. It's a TV. That's what they do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_area_(television) That. Your TV is cutting out at least the invisible area and zooming the rest in. This will always result in a blurry images but it's a holdover from analog TV days where these areas were used to transport out-of-band signal information (e.g. like teletext or closed captioning for the hearing impaired in the USA - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletext + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_captioning ). Yes - it's being dumb. It's assuming your VGA/HDMI input is ye olde analog style and wants to hide the side-band data. It's a stupid assumption to make by default but TVs do that. Check your settings (remote) to find some zoom or such option to disable this. Perhaps your TV will be smart enough to remember this (per output)... unlike mine, but this is the right solution. It'll make the display less blurry and give you all of the pixels on the screen 1:1. Now you have another issue. 1920x1080 on the TV and 1600x900 on the laptop. This will create problems if you are trying to clone. Have it extend instead of clone and you'll be fine. Otherwise - what can be done? E's randr logic tries to find a common resolution between 2 screens that clone. I bet it can't find one for you as there is no common resolution (TV doesn't advertise 1600x900 and I'm willing to bet your panel is also limited to perhaps a single resolution?). You have a fundamental incompatibility on your hands. In theory it's possible to force a mode that the screen may not advertise 9force the same 1600x900 mode timings onto the HDMI output) but we don't have anything to do this - it may not actually work as the screen may reject such a mode as it wasn't advertised. You can force this with xrandr, but E's screen setup will only work within the "sensible limitations" provided. So take a look at the list of provided resolutions to see if any match. In addition there is the above overscan/invisible area issue probably as well. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - ras...@rasterman.com _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
