Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
Hi,
I have a small Acer desktop PC (actually built mostly from notebook technology), a
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series]
onboard graphics adapter and DVI and HDMI output.
The computer had a running hardy (8.04) installation and worked well with a regular DVI computer screen.
I recently removed that computer from the desktop and the DVI screen and put it to my video equipment,
connected to a (cheap) 1280x720 pixel LCD flatscreen TV with HDMI input. With hardy, it immediately
detected the screen resolution and displayed a screen that perfectly met the screen resolution.
Now I've upgraded to intrepid beta. Now I have the problem that the computer still recognizes the screen resolution 1280x720, but now displays an image larger than the actual screen resolution, i.e. the outer parts of the image are missing (about 70% of the top and bottem gnome bar) and the visible part of the image occurs as unsharp due to scaling effects.
I was not even aware that the computer could overscale the screen with a digital interface like with analog displays.
