I'm running the Xvba Eden version of XBMC .... http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...vaapi+eden on an MSI E350IA-E45 with the AMD APU to a 48" Panasonic TV connected via HDMI.
When I was on the pre-Eden release things were good.
I used "sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0" to disable underscan and this has the effect of making the image (Ubuntu or XBMC) larger than the screen size so I setup a startup script to size the image to the screen.
After upgrading to the Eden release as soon as I launch a video the screen re-sizes and has black borders surrounding the video.
I removed my startup script and Ubuntu main screen and XBMC both overlap the borders of the screen BUT as soon as I launch a video then the screen re-sizes and I have black borders again which are still there after I stop the video.
The borders aren't huge but I would like to be able to use all of the TV display.
Video calibration from the Settings-Video output section doesn't help me as the screen just enlarges into the black borders and I lose some of the image. Note that this does show me that I have a 1920X1080 display even though it is smaller than the TV screen size.
Cheers, Duncan
