[SOLVED] ATI Underscan

view full story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Over the last couple days I have been struggling with underscan on my HTPC (by default a couple inches of my screen would be cut off). Adjusting underscan in the Catalyst Control Center solved the problem, but it wouldn't save changes after a reboot. I've tried multiple solutions (running sudo amdcccle, rebuilding xorg.conf, etc) all of which didn't save after a reboot. Here are my specs: - Motherboard: ASUS AMD Zacate E-350 E35M1-M PRO - Samsung 46" TV - HDMI connection from HTPC to TV - AMD ATI Catalyst 12.6 driver (built via instructions here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/124 (Hardware)

Stories similar to [SOLVED] ATI Underscan

Namely that after installing Ubuntu 12.04 and going to log in, I am met with a frozen slate of a desktop in which nothing loads (at longest I've sat for 30 minutes, reading, whilst nothing changes) and only the mouse moves.

Its not a blank screen, its the desktop that one is normally greeted with, just with nothing loaded.

So far I've tried http://askubuntu.com/questions/15715...-12-04-upgrade

I m starting to have lot of favorite questions in my AskUbuntu account. So it takes my time to search and find a Question in my favorites.

Knowing that these Questions have tags (like ATI, Wine, USB, UNITY, ...), is there a way to sort them ? or is there a way to perform a query search in AskUbuntu specifying that I want to search only in my favorites ?

Something like this would be perfect:

On reboot I get the following message in a low graphics popup:

"Your system is running in low graphics mode".

I have to reboot into the grub menu and choose 'recovery' option and then choose 'resume boot' to get to my desktop.

How do I fix this?

Ok, I wrote in my other thread, I'm new to Ubuntu. I'll change to it, but now I've got a test enviroment (with 12.10) on my notebook. So I can test it, and there's no problem if I make a mistake.

2 days ago after a reboot I got the message "The system is running in low-graphics mode" error... And I couldn't do anything.

Hi there, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and an AMD HD 7700 with the newest driver and 12.6er ccc.   My monitor is connected via HDMI, so the ccc always does an underscan, so I have black boxes around my screen. On every bootup, this happens. I'm opening the ccc and go to the Advanced-page, but the slider of "overscan" is already set to 0%.
