Bug Description
CID: 2011008-8338
Maximum resolution comes with black edges.
This might be a driver issue, but since it works with the open-source driver, we will certify it without the proprietary driver.
Steps:
1. Install 12.04.4 + update + fglrx-experimen
2. Boot to desktop
Expected result:
* The supported maximum resolution (1920*1080) should be expand to the whole screen.
Actual result:
* It's not fullscreen in 1920*1080, 1776*1000, it will be surrounded by black edges,
but it works fine for resolutions lower than 1776*1000
WORKAROUND:
* Use the AMD Catalyst Control Center to adjust the scaling options, tune it to "overscan" (Screenshot attached)
