From 24d01805ca652434e1ba7b83a1370cb42b618954 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Drake Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 09:19:30 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] drm/edid: request HDMI underscan by default MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Working with HDMI TVs is a real pain as they tend to overscan by default, meaning that the pixels around the edge of the framebuffer are not displayed. This is well explained here: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/8705.html There is a bit in the HDMI info frame that can request that the remote display shows the full pixel data ("underscan"). For the remote display, the HDMI spec states that this is optional - it doesn't have to listen. That means that most TVs will probably ignore this. But, maybe there are a handful of TVs for which this would help the situation. As we live in a digital world, ask the remote display not to overscan by default.
