Bug Description
Hi,
on ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.13.0-93 everything with the screen resolution is fine. (beneath some undeterministic flickering at the startup..)
On ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 4.2.0-42 the screen resolution is not working properly.
It is too big. One could barely log in (because one could not click on the preferred user to log in, because it is not visible on the screen).
Also on Ubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.4.0-21, and "try ubuntu live"-mode, the screen resolution is not working properly in the same manner.
Some testing showed that kernel 3.13 is using:
dmesg | egrep 'drm|radeon'
[drm] Initialized radeon 2.36.0 20080528 for 0000:02:00.0 on minor 0
which is ok.
while ubuntu 14.04 at kernel 4.2 is using:
[drm] Initialized radeon 2.43.0 20080528 for 0000:02:00.0 on minor 0
and ubuntu 16.04 at live mode, at kernel 4.4.0-21 is also using:
[drm] Initialized radeon 2.43.0 20080528 for 0000:02:00.0 on minor 0
On the failing kernels 4.2 and 4.4 xrandr says:
xrandr --prop
scaling mode: None
supported: None, Full, Center, Full aspect
*** while on kernel 3.13 and radeon 2.36.0 there is no output of: "scaling mode: None" ***

if further logs are needed please tell me.

I tested also kernel 3.16.0-77 from generic- lts-utopic generic- lts-utopic
linux-headers-
linux-image-
and the problem starts from this kernel number also.
Here radeon 2.39 is in use.
[drm] Initialized radeon 2.39.0 20080528 for 0000:02:00.0 on minor 0
same situation with too big screen resolution but no message about the: "no scaling mode" in xrandr --prop
