I set Ubuntu to use the proprietary AMD fglrx drivers included in the software sources menu. After first rebooting, I noticed that the image on my monitor was not scaled to fill my monitor completely, but instead left a 1 inch thick black frame around the image.



I fixed this by going into the catalyst control center and changing Underscan to 0%, which scaled the image properly and filled out the entire screen.



Then I rebooted, and the problem was back, again there is the same 1 inch thick boarder framing the image on my monitor. I thought that maybe I forgot to save my settings or something, so I went back into catalyst control center to check, but all the settings were right and just the way I left it. If I readjust the slider for Underscan the image is set back to full panel size, and looks right, but Ubuntu does not seem to remember this after reboot.



What can I do to make Ubuntu remember my setting, and have the image scale correctly on start up?



My graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 6970 2gb,
My monitor is a Fujitsu Siemens SL23T-1 23"



This is how the settings look when my computer starts up, and how they are supposed to look to have the image scale correctly, even though it's not scaled. If I adjust the slider it scales correctly.

Same problem here, with Ubuntu 12.04TLS amd64, on a AMD A10 with integrated AMD Radeon HD6670 video and a AOC 23" monitor connected via HDMI.



I had the same monitor on a 32bit 12.04TLS Ubuntu on a much older AMD CPU and its integrated video card, and the screen used also a part of the panel, but changing the DTV settings in Catalyst Control Center solved it and the settings were permanent.



The main difference I know of is amd64 / 32bit change, but I have no clue as to this can explain the settings not kept upon logout or reboot.



SOLUTION FOUND !
see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI -> 5.2. HDTV underscan



Here is what I did successfully :



sudo aticonfig --initial
sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0
sudo reboot


enjoy
