Title:
  Image appears cropped (underscan/overscan) on external HDTV display

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am visiting my parents who have a Samsung HDTV capable of 1920x1080i
  resolution (30/60Hz interlaced).  When I plug in my Dell laptop
  (Inspiron N4010) with its integrated Intel graphics, I am unable to
  get the image to display correctly -- it appears cropped, with several
  percent of the top, bottom, left, and right missing -- I can't see the
  left-hand launch bar or the top menu bar on the screen.  This HDTV
  displays correctly under Windows.

  I haven't been able to find any underscan/overscan setting for the
  display driver, either through xrandr or the Gnome display settings
  screen.

  This is something that should more or less "just work".  I have fought
  this problem periodically since I bought the laptop in 2010, but the
  situation has stayed about the same each time I have tried.  This
  appears to be a fairly long-standing issue, and from my searching
  around, I suspect there may be a common root cause among Intel,
  nVidia, and ATI graphics devices.
