[Intel-gfx] External Monitor Cut Off with HDMI and a little blurry

[brian downing]

I have a intel hd graphics 3000 and Centos 6. This is a HP Pavilion dv7 
laptop and a Samsung 2493HM monitor. When I use the hdmi port with an 
external monitor, the outer part of the screen is cut off. For example, 
I can't see the window control in the upper right. If I use VGA, then I 
can see everything.


I dual boot this machine in Windows 7. I see the same thing in Windows.


Another problem I'm having is the monitor is a little more blurry than 
other computers. I've compared it to an older HP dv7 and a Lenovo with a 
Intel GMA 4500M.


Here is the output from lspci and glxinfo

---------------------------------------------------------------

[root at centos-dv7 brian]# lspci | grep VGA

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core 
Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)


[root at centos-dv7 brian]# glxinfo | grep -i vendor

server glx vendor string: SGI

client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI

OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center

----------------------------------------------------------------


Any suggestions on troubleshooting the hdmi getting cut off or the 
blurry issue? I confused on updating the driver. I downloaded "Kernel 
driver" and the readme seems like it is a new Kernel. I'm not sure how 
to update the driver.
