I'm having trouble with a second screen on my laptop.
So I found a TV screen somewhere (Samsung) and tried plugging it into my laptop, it does work (as in I get an image) the only problem is that it is zoomed in to far. I'd guess that 5-10% of the screen gets cut off (at the top, bottom, right and left). I had seen some advice on similar posts about xrandr
but am unable to fix it, does anyone have advice on how to fix such problems (or in other words, how can I shift the image slightly down and to the right and downscale the image slightly too)?
Here is an image to show the cutoff problem
If anyone has advice on things I can try to fix this (or possibly plugins that can deal with this) then I'd gladly hear it! :-D
Also the output of of xrandr -q
if that is useful:
brendan@brevibo:~$ xrandr -q
