One of my machines (an AMD A10 Kaveri, using the radeon driver) is connected to an AOC 19" 1600x900 monitor. The monitor was cheap-ish, I did not realise it had no controls - in future I will have to remember that you get what you pay for.
When I boot linux (last build was in November, using current releases), the initial tty display is ok - old-style [OK] markings from the initscripts are at the right of the display. But when I use X the right edge of the desktop is lost - perhaps about 16 pixels, enough to lose the 'close' icon on a window at the right edge of the desktop. I have managed to lose the "everything full" brightness with xrandr, but I am unsure how to try to address the display size. I suppose I need to use a modeline ? If so, are there any pointers to creating one ? Back in the day (years ago, before KMS) I sometimes had similar problems, but I was able to use the controls on the monitor I was using to adjust things. Now, no controls - progress. Not.
