I get a 2-3cm thick black square around the picture on my HDMI connected monitor abusing kernel 2.6.35-git3 and 2.6.35-git4 KMS. The black square comes when the kernel loads the KMS FB and stays there when starting X. X story is that I am running 1920x1080 pixels, which is supposedly correct, atleast that is the resolution I normally abuse.
There is no black square around my screen when abusing the 2.6.35-git2 kernel.
I have the few hours old git xf86-video-ati+libdrm+mesa technology.
It appears that some git commit between 2.6.35-git2 and 2.6.35-git3 (and the evidence shows that there were many files changed) sets the correct resolution but somehow asks my monitor to shrink the picture, thus adding the big black frame.
WHAT IS GOIGN ON HERE? WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS? QUE BONO?
