Public bug reported:
I am dual booting with windows 8.1 and I am able to tweak the same
misconfiguration with the nvidia console in windows by shrinking (down
scaling) the display from 1920 X1080 to 1824 X 1026 resolution....
preserving the aspect ratio.
Is it possible to enable the correct identification of the monitor as a
32 inch diagonal instead of an oversized 37 inch diagonal which makes my
top menu bar and application side bar offscreen? I tried to install the
nvidia (updates driver) but tweaking resulted in a missconfiguration
forcing a lockup and reinstall.
Since Windows also misidentifies this display it may be a communication
error sourced from the display itself or documentation annomalies in an
obscure monitor ...any advice or direction would be appreciated.
