[Bug 489875] [NEW] [i915] Screen goes over the edges of display and too low resolution

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I'm using a TV as a display via DVI addon PCI-card (SDVO; Silicon Image
MAIA ADD2-R DUAL PAD x16 card; Model Sil1364 DVI ADD2-R) from DVI output
to HDMI input. The computer is HP Compaq dc7100 SFF with Intel 915G
Express chipset with Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900.

The gnome-display-properties believes that my display is LG Electronics
42", although it is  26" LG 26LC2RA. There is only one resolution to be
chosen: 720x480.

The desktop goes over all of the edges of the display, so that
vertically only half ot the Gnome panels can be seen if the desktop is
aligned in center.

According to LG manual:

* Recommended: 1360 x 768 at 60 Hz for model 26LC2R*
HorizSync          47.7 (KHz)
VertRefresh        59.8 (Hz)

* Generally for DVD player use 1280 x 720

Currently, most of the windows don't fit into the screen/Desktop and
cannot be scaled, so they have to be looked at in several so called
workspaces/virtual desktops, which is very complicated...
