Figured what was wrong: I had an external display attached. Desktop extended to that display with amdcccle and XFCE / settings / Display The video got cropped when the external display was NOT attached. Watched the movie on the internal LCD.
The way I switched between the modes with/without external display was like I shutdown the laptop, plug/unplug the external display, do NOT do any adjustments via amdcccle or XFCE / settings / Display. The DM seemed to get the current situation with or without the external display. Apparently there are some glitches. After running amdcccle (and doing a noop change and saving) without the external display seem to have solved the issue with the cropped video. I did NO BIOS update. The other difference I realized is that at boot: - with the external display profile the internal LCD went black -- incl. backlight off, - now with the "fixed" profile the internal LCD does not go black. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1546837 Title: fglrx, vlc video play crops picture Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: will attach a screenshot ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+7ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-27.32-generic 4.2.8-ckt1 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-27-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Thu Feb 18 03:08:27 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-05-17 (1006 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64 (20130423.1) SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) --- ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,gnomecompat,grid,mousepoll,regex,vpswitch,wall,resize,imgpng,place,unitymtgrabhandles,animation,snap,move,session,fade,expo,workarounds,ezoom,scale,unityshell] CompositorRunning: None DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: wily DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: fglrx-updates-core, 15.201, 4.2.0-25-generic, x86_64: installed fglrx-updates-core, 15.201, 4.2.0-27-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 5.0.14, 4.2.0-25-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 5.0.14, 4.2.0-27-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
