I’ve instaled 11.4 and in personal configurations the resolution is set fine (1920x1080), but it’s don’t maximizes all monitor area.
I’m using Radeon 5670 with a TV/Monitor HDMI connection 1080p.
In Win7 running fine.
how to solve this?
- Which graphics driver are you using?
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --gfxcard
- If the correct display resolution is set correctly, then this is really a monitor issue. You’re effectively reporting that it is underscanning. Is there a setting on your monitor to correct this?
A similar Ubuntu thread.
- What does this command report?
xrandr --prop
Post the output here.
- If using the open source radeon driver, it may be possible to disable the underscan with
xrandr --output <outputname> --set underscan off
using the appropriate ‘output name’ from the first ‘xrandr --prop’ command.

I’m solve this problem installing a proprietary drivers, so, now I get this error on running glxgears:

The ‘xrandr’ commands were for the open source driver. I’m not sure that I can help if your switching to the proprietary driver. Maybe you can try using ‘aticonfig’ as explained in this post, (using dfp2 name instead).
This Ubuntu thread uses the same approach. (The commands can be added in a script at X startup, once you have it working manually).
You may also be able to configure your display via the Catalyst Control Center (proprietary driver utility via ‘sudo amdcccle’). I don’t have hardware capable of using the proprietary driver, so can’t advise further here.
There are lots of discussions on this topic concerning underscan with recent ATI cards and TV/monitors if you search. An interesting Mint thread.
My AMD graphics (and HD3450) typically ‘just work’ on my Dell Studio 1537 laptop.
The command:
su -c 'amdcccle'
works for me for running the catalyst control center.
Having typed that, I normally do not use that command when I plug in a second monitor (for presentations at the office) but rather I use the ‘xrandr’ command which does work with the proprietary AMD catalyst (fglrx) driver.
My AMD graphics (and HD3450) typically ‘just work’ on my Dell Studio 1537 laptop.
I think this underscan issue only affects particular display devices, partcularly combined tv/monitors, when using certain display modes (interlaced at 50Hz/60Hz refresh rate perhaps?).
I’m not sure how xrandr complient the proprietary driver is. Can one exectue the ‘xrandr --output <outputname> --set…’ form of the command ok?
