** Description changed: Binary package hint: grub2 I have a Dell XPS studio 16 that has an attached an external monitor. In /etc/default/grub I have: GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080-24 This seems to work fine on the laptop monitor. However, on the external monitor the picture is not scaled correctly. The picture is underscanned.The effect is the same as if I leave the underscan option in ATI Catalyst Control Center at its default value. By setting the underscan to 0% in the Catalyst Control Center the problem is resolved in xorg. But unfortunately the startup splash screen is not scaled correctly and there is a black frame around the splash screen. Using Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit with the fglrx driver. grub2: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 Version table: 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3 0 500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe amd64 Packages What you expected to happen: That the picture on the external monitor cover the entire screen. - What happened instead: The picture is covered by a black frame, similar - to the underscan effect in the ATI Catalyst Control Center. + What happened instead: The picture is covered by a black frame, similar to the underscan effect in the ATI Catalyst Control Center. + --- + AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24. + ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 + Architecture: amd64 + ArecordDevices: + **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** + card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] + Subdevices: 2/2 + Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 + Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 + AudioDevicesInUse: + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC1: fabian 1666 F.... pulseaudio + /dev/snd/controlC0: fabian 1666 F.... pulseaudio + CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory + Card0.Amixer.info: + Card hw:0 'Intel'/'HDA Intel at 0xf1000000 irq 48' + Mixer name : 'IDT 92HD73C1X5' + Components : 'HDA:111d7675,102802fe,00100103' + Controls : 21 + Simple ctrls : 14 + Card1.Amixer.info: + Card hw:1 'Generic'/'HD-Audio Generic at 0xcfedc000 irq 49' + Mixer name : 'ATI R6xx HDMI' + Components : 'HDA:1002aa01,00aa0100,00100200' + Controls : 4 + Simple ctrls : 1 + Card1.Amixer.values: + Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0 + Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum + Playback channels: Mono + Mono: Playback [on] + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 + HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=fc16cb79-2579-444d-8b8c-0a2d395cd87d + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) + Lsusb: + Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub + Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub + Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp.
