Display on HDMI-connected TV to large

2010-02-19 Thread Sebastian Beßler
Hello, recently I changed my dual-head setting from fglrx and old zephod to xf86-video-ati, KMS and xrandr. Nearly all works great, since KDE 4.4 even that, but the display on my TFT-TV is a bit too large on all sides so that it doesn't fit completely in. It is only a cm or so on all sides that

Underscan doesn't seem to help too. I tried down to 1064x504 in steps of 8 (from 1280x720) and my TV always seems to compensate. Disclaimer: I never did this so my suggestion may be stupid. Are you sure you're actually underscanning? Sounds to me like you're changing the resolution, I would
