Overscan settings in catalyst not used after starting Ubuntu

[Johan Hult]

Hi

I am testing the daily builds of 13.04 raring ringtail on a AMD desktop with a Radeon 5750 graphics card and a dual monitor setup (normal monitor and a HD-tv, both 1080p)

When using the binary drivers, fglrx or fglrx-updates I can set overscan values in the catalyst control center and everything looks fine, but when I reboot the system does not actualluy use the choosen overscan values and the desktop does not fill the entire screen any longer. The values choosen in the control center are still shown correctly in the control center, but just not used when starting the desktop.

This problem does not exist in the open source drivers (but in turn they ahve HDMI sound issues, but that is another bug :)).

This problem also also appeared in the 12.10 beta.

Best regards

Same problem here. The choosen overscan values in CCC aren't applied after the next restart. My graphics card is a Radeon HD 6450A.

Having the same problem. Radeon HD 7770, using fglrx and fglrx-updates.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Actually, It is AMD that decided not to provide a proprietary video driver for Ubuntu 16.04 because 16.04 uses a version of the X server that their proprietary drivers do not support. And they did not want to do the work to provide support. Their development effort was going in a different direction. Ubuntu developers had no choice but to not put AMD proprietary drivers in 16.04.
