Despite the bug being closed, i hope I can bring some new light on this. I've obtained a new display today; Samsung SyncMaster P2450 - 1920x1080. It replaces an older 1920x1200 display.
The new display has native HDMI, the older only had DVI-D, and i used it with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter to make it work, but it worked fine. My gfx card is a Radeon HD4650, likewise with a native HDMI port. After some unrelated bugs with usplash, I've run my head into this - that the edges of the screen are cut off. Mind, this is not a TV display, but a regular PC display. After pulling out some newly grown grey hairs, I succumbed to installing the ATI fglrx drivers, and discovered that the screen cutoff is related to overscanning (set in Display Settings > Scaling Options). Setting it to a low value (underscanning) makes the entire desktop vibsible, but making it match the screen edges precisely seems impossible. There is still the problem that even though I can line the desktop up mostly well witht he screen edges, the pixels still seem blurred, and this is unaceptable. Uninstalling fglrx reverts the overscan settign back to max, cutting off the screen edges again. Since Bryce H. asked for a triage 5 minths ago with the recently updated drivers then, I'd assume that the bug is not fixed. I'll try to be of assistance if more needs to be done. - p -- [RS690] fglrx HDMI overscan in both 720p and 1080p modes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/361456 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
