Title:
  Zooms image on TV horizontally so that the bottom part of framebuffer

Bug description:
  $ xrandr --verbose --fb 1067x600 --output TV1 --set mode PAL --mode 800x600 --rate 50.00 --scale-from 1067x600 --output LVDS1 --mode 640x480 --pos 0x0 --panning 1067x600+0+0/1067x600+0+0
  scaling TV1 by 1.333750x1.000000
  scaling TV1 by 1.333750x1.000000
  crtc 0: disable
  crtc 0:      800x600  50.00 +0+0 "TV1"
  crtc 1:      640x480  59.94 +0+0 "LVDS1

  Expected result: the whole framebuffer fits on TV1.
  Actual result:  Image is zoomed vertically, and, low part of framebuffer is cut. Horizontally ok.

  However, sometimes this works fine, at least, if I set
  --set 'top margin' 15 --set 'left margin' 40 --set 'bottom margin' 25 --set 'right margin' 40
  for output TV1. And then the following workaround does not work. Also the image in TV may be sometimes offset so that there is black area on top and left. All in all setting graphics works unreliably.

  Workaround:

  $ xrandr --verbose --fb 1067x600 --output TV1 --set mode PAL --mode 800x600 --rate 50.00 --scale-from 1067x720 --output LVDS1 --mode 640x480 --pos 0x0 --panning 1067x600+0+0/1067x600+0+0
