[SOLVED] xrandr: HDMI output too small or too large to fit screen

I'm trying to connect my PC to the TV with an HDMI cable. But I'm having trouble with xrandr.
xrandr lists 1920x1080 as the largest mode for HDMI and 1280x1024 as number two. So I tried both of these:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output HDMI2 --mode 1920x1080
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output HDMI2 --mode 1280x1024
But the first is about 1-2cm too large to fit the screen (both at the top and on the sides) and the second one is too small. Is there anything I can do about it?
PS: Also 1920x1080 output is very sluggish and there is video tear when I move windows around. The PC is a ThinkPad X220.

Thanks. I set my TV picture format to "unscaled".
The output is still sluggish. I would have thought an i5-2540M would be able to handle this in a more responsive manner.

  • I have a 22 inch monitor set at 150% but since I installed Firefox, the font is too small and the screen is too small. Cannot make font or screen larger. I can do Control++ each time I enter a page but don't want that to be my solution.

    In control panel/display, I had my display set at 150% and at 1680 X 1050 resolution. This filled my 22 inch screen with the page content. Now that I have installed Firefox, the font is too small and the content is centered in the screen leaving about3" per side of blank space. I want to fill the screen and make everything larger. Haven't found a way to do that. Firefox tells me in my control panel/display window that by setting my display at 150%, "some items may not fit in your screen if you choose this setting while your display is set to this resolution. It worked fine with Explorer.

  • [solved] [radeon] HDMI audio stopped working, video too fast

    I'm using the `xf86-video-ati` driver, which worked fine up until when I upgraded Arch, after some weeks of not doing so. Now the HDMI audio is silent. Also, when I set the audio to output to HDMI in the GNOME sound menu, videos are playing faster. I tried setting the `radeon.audio=1` kernel commandline, but it didn't help or even change anything.

  • Upoading files file images are too small to see on file upload screen

    Upon wanting to send photos or files via email when i come to the file upload screen the images are very small and almost impossible to see.this is affecting both safari and firefox.how can i make the images larger so i can see what files i am actually uploading?

    Hi,
    I am not sure I was clear enough. (EDIT Some testing before finally posting this does show some strangeness)
    I was suggesting that in the View Options bit you set the Size to what you want (Before using the Upload site) so that when (and If) you change the View in the Pop Up screen to Icon View the icons are big enough. (See note below though)
    List and Column views do show very small Icons that cannot be changed in size, hence the need to use the Icon view and possibly a Naming convention that helps if the pics are very similar like the pic I posted (a whole series of iChat Preferences pics) or possibly deciding before Uploading and creating a sub folder of just the ones to be uploaded.
    NOTE:- However I also checked if I set the Icon View in the Finder first to 128 X 128 and then used Google Mail to Add an Attachment the Pop up, view as it were, keeps to the size in the pic I posted.
    I will also try Quitting Firefox just in case it is holding some old info.
    I will also try Safari
    EDIT 2
    Tried Safari and the Icons are a default size it seems.
    Zoom Only makes the selection (of Pics) window bigger/full screen, hiding the Browser (Alt Key and Zoom reduces it again).
    Also tried setting the View Options at the Desktop Level (Have yet to use it as the Default)

  • IPad screen too small (wide black border)

    there is a wide black border around the screen, obstructing the wifi, time and battery at the top. I'm not sure what I did to make this happen, but it wasn't like this always...?

    I tried tapping/typing on the iPad, the keys are too small and too close together for me to be comfortably typing on it. I need it to be bigger, and I figure that if the screen can be at 15" then the keys can be the same size as what I have on my MBP, spaced out about the same.
    Not quite like an iPad, but you can get a 27" iMac with a touch screen:

  • Font too small/faint in Version 4.1.4

    I recently erased the Palm files on my computer.  When I put them back on, both the font size and boldness on the desktop are too small and too faint.  I've looked for ways to make them larger and/or bolder in order to make them more readable, but have not been able to find anything.  Does anyone have any advice?  I know part of the problem is my failing eyesight, but surely others have had the same problem?  Thanks.
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    Using "regedit" I was able to change the font size larger for use with the Palm Desktop software.
      Run "regedit" and export (save) a backup copy for safety
        File  >  Export  
      Search for "FontSmall"
        Edit  >  Find  >  Find what  >  FontSmall
      Click on FontSizeGeneral and change the "Value data" to 16
      Exit "regedit"
      Run Palm Desktop software and enjoy the new legible font size!
      Notes:
      1) The location of the Palm Desktop software on my system using "regedit" is:
            HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
            * Your location of the Palm Desktop software may differ.
      2) I tested this on monitors using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
            The font size is noticeably readable and much, much better
      3) You may also change the font family from the default (Arial) to another, such as Verdana, etc.
            FontCard    (Changes the font family in the side panels)
            FontGeneral    (Changes the font family for most of the program fonts)

  • [SOLVED] Fonts too small on X

    Hi,
    My fonts are waaay too small for my linking.
    I've recently migrated to Arch (I don't know what's been keeping me ), and since the doc is *so* great, I've just had two tiny issues.
    My fonts are really small.  About half the size I'm used to.  I formerly used Fedora, and GDM/LXDM magically made them bigger (I remember I once booted on runlevel 3 and ran startx, and the fonts weren't big).
    I've checked .gtkrc-2.0
    I've looked at the wiki (at Font Configuration and Fonts FAQ)
    I've check all the X PPI (DPI) stuff.  On both OSs the DPI is set fine (and equally on both).  I calculated it manually, and I get 68.8dpi.  It's set to 69 now.
    Update
    Running "startx -- -dpi 96" makes the fonts look *just* like I want them to.  (I've already configured the rendering just like I like it, it's just the size that's annoying me).
    However, running "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources" from my .xinitrc does not fix the issue.
    $ cat .Xresources
    xft.dpi: 96
    Also, adding the following to ~/.fonts.config resulted in no changes either:
    <match target="pattern">
    <edit name="dpi" mode="assign"><double>96</double></edit>
    </match>
    Any idea what the problem is?
    Thanks, cheers!
    Update 2
    This fixed the issue:
    Section "Monitor"
    Identifier "Monitor0"
    Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
    EndSection
    Using Xresources didn't work for some reason, and xrdb gave no output, oddly.  Or any of the other methods.  Only passing the DPI explicitly to X worked.  So I guess that fixes the issue (using startx -- -dpi 96 was way too dirty/hackish.

    Do you use KDE or GNOME? AFAIK they override DPI by default (for some applications)
    You might also have DPI set in .Xresources/.Xdefaults or your .fonts.conf.
    Do you use any of the patched font packages? There's a respect-fontconfig patch for cairo that might help https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21108.
    I only use a WM, and no dpi set in .Xdefaults.or .fonts.conf.
    Also using the patched cairo, as you can see in the first comment on that flyspray report.
    (i don't think it's a cairo issue though)
    Edit: i should add that terminal fonts are okay, so it seems that mainly gtk-apps show problems.

  • [SOLVED] Java Font Too Small in OpenBox

    I usually use Cinnamon, but decided to give OpenBox a whirl again. I am encountering a problem with OpenBox and the size of fonts in Java apps. I'm using the Oracle JDK, not OpenJDK.
    These first screenshots show the font on OpenBox being too small:
    http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob1.png
    http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob2.png
    As you can see, the fonts used for the controls is super tiny. As can be seen from the second example, the font can be configured in the editing portion through the applications. But the controls themselves remain too small.
    When I log into the SAME account, but use Cinnamon, the fonts are fine. Reference:
    http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob3.png
    http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob4.png
    So the only difference in these screenshots are the fonts. And the only difference is that I am using Cinnamon vs OpenBox. I;ve searched Google and the Wiki and the Forums, but I'm either not using the proper search terms or just overlooking the results. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
    Also, I am using the fontconfig-infinality stuff. I don't think that matters and again, Cinnamon works and OpenBox has too small a font. And the problem is only on Java apps, not other things.
    Thanks in advance.

    I've done more digging. I have this in my /etc/profile:
    export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.systemlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'
    Well, this screws up gdx-setup (the first screenshot). If I only use
    export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'
    Then gdx-setup looks fine. Netbeans was still messed up either way. I did find that it seems Netbeans has issues with the GTK+ look and feel on non-GTK platforms. So I reverted NetBeans to the (ugly) Metal theme and now the fonts are bigger.
    So I am marking this as solved. It seems that the GTK+ look and feel is just not happy on non-GTK+ platforms. I guess that makes sense in a way.

  • (Solved) Openbox font too small

    I've removed gnome and installed openbox, and now my fonts are too small. My firefox webpage fonts are fine, tint2 fonts are ok as well. But I think some leftover gnome setting is affecting it. I deleted .gnome2, but it's not working. What should I do?
    EDIT: Fixed! Didn't think of Xorg at first

    Ehm, do you mean your root-Partition with the mount-point "/" or the home-directory of the user "root" with the mount-point "/root"? If it's the second one I'd reccommend to you not to save this much data in your root-account. If it's the first one, Gparted is your choice. Don't forget to backup before and take your time, resizing partitions can be very slow.
