I installed Mint 17.2 on my HTPC to replace Windows and my problem is that my Mitsubishi DLP HDTV sucks cause it has overscan and there's no way to disable this. So in Windows I fixed this by using 1776x1000 but with open source drivers I can't seem to correct this. I can add 1776x1000 60hz but it doesn't fill the screen. Catalyst has no problem with 1776x1000 and does fill the screen, but I would rather use open source drivers like from Oibaf. Catalyst uses 1776x1000 30hz which got me thinking that I should use 30 instead of 60, but this resulted in no picture.
Then I go to display and there's the choice for 1776x1000 which does work but doesn't fill the screen. Is there anyway to see exactly what Catalyst is using to fill the screen so I can set it with the open source drivers? Cause all it tells me is 1776x1000 30hz. Any amount of help would be great cause I hate using Catalyst.
Code:
sudo cvt 1776 1000 60 sudo xrandr --newmode "past stuff here" sudo xrandr --addmode HDMI-0 1776x1000_60.00
