Is there a way to correct ATI underscan in live 9.11? I have tried aticonfig --query-monitor to get the monitor type for aticonfig --set-dispattrib=xxxxx corrections but get

sudo aticonfig --query-monitor
Default Adapter - ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
ati_dm: X Windows is not running or $DISPLAY is not set.

any other ideas? Im losing about an inch of display

Found this one via search. In the current ati drivers you get a slider to correct this issue.

However it is no possible to have it set across several resolutions as it seems that on each resolution change the settings for the new resolution is lost.

the funny thing is that i seem to get it only on some movies, not on all when the resolution changes.

Unfortunately makes it unusable for me until i get a full hd tv.

In XBMC Live? Dunno. But I overscanned like so w/ my former Ati card:

Code:

xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1
xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600
xrandr --output S-video --set tv_horizontal_size 2
xrandr --output S-video --set tv_horizontal_position -5
xrandr --output S-video --set tv_vertical_position -3

Read "man xrandr". Or "xrandr --prop". Try to find out what "KMS" (kernel mode setting) is and if it affects your specific hard ware setup. I switches to Nvidia a few weeks ago.

Good luck

P.S. I always used the open source drivers (= radedon drivers). Closed source binary driver (= fglrx): dunno much about it.
