Please go to bugs.freedesktop.org and actually file it - this needs fixing. fglrx needs to die - your desktop usability with this worst of the worse driver is basically not given at all, e.g. there is no usability with fglrx.

Ok. on my way.

@lizzi
bug report is fine, but it's of no use you don't specify _which_ GFX card you've got ...

1600x900 59.94*+
1776x1000 59.94
1680x1050 60.00 59.94
1400x1050 60.00 59.94
1440x900 59.94
1280x960 59.94
1360x768 59.94

^^ there _is_ a 1600 x 900 mode. The 4:3 modes are not there, cause they don't represent the native display resolution.

Do you by chance have an underscan issue? What happens if you run the 1600x900 mode? Also the xrandr command you use to add the mode manually is 60 hz and not 59.94 hz.

So - what happens if you "normally" boot with the OSS drivers. Can you make photo picture? I think you really only have an underscan / overscan issue.

[lizzi]

These are the resolutions that show when i do xrandr with either of the open source video drivers:

xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
HDMI-0 connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 640mm x 360mm
1920x1080i 60.00 + 59.94
1280x720 60.00 59.94
1024x768 60.00*
1440x480i 59.94
800x600 60.00 60.32 56.25
700x525 59.98
720x480 60.00 59.94
720x480i 60.00 59.94
640x512 60.02
640x480 60.00 60.00 59.94
512x384 60.00
400x300 60.32 56.34
320x240 60.05


the only resolutions that work with the opensource driver are 1024x768 and smaller. anything else creates a desktop too large to fit on the viewable area

[lizzi]

How can i even be sure that my system is even using the opensource drivers? I uninstalled all the free and non-free drivers: catalyst, xf86-video-ati, and xf86-video-amdgpu and with all of them uninstalled or with both the free drivers installed, i see no difference in the xrandr output for available video modes. So how can i be sure my system is even using one of the free drivers when they are installed?

I see!

Can you try:

Code:

xrandr --newmode "1600x900_59.94"  118.00  1600 1696 1856 2112  900 903 908 934 -hsync +vsync

xrandr --addmode HDMI-0 "1600x900_59.94"

xrandr --output HDMI-0 --mode "1600x900_59.94"

You need to change YOUR_OUT of course for your output.

Always use a pastebin near you for:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit
dmesg | pastebinit
xrandr -q | pastebinit

[lizzi]

Here's a simple xorg.conf i made with the 1600x900 res. After reboot it booted to 1920x1080 and the desktop extended beyond the viewable area. After i manually selected the 1600x900 res in lxrandr that was created by my new xorg.conf my screen went completely blank.

Ey - act sane or we will never find a solution.

I want to see photo of the "screen extending beyond the viewable" area ... that's an overscan issue. Also I want all the logfiles from above or we need until new year's eve to solve your issue. And while at it I also need: xrandr --verbose | pastebinit

And I want to see xrandr --verbose | pastebinit _before_ you manually fiddle anything, please (the xorg.conf is fine).
