> If its not possible to fix the root problem (EDID)...
A quick check indicates that there is no obvious "fix" in the EDID
There is a section of the EIA/CEA-861 extension block that indicates if
underscan is supported or not, but no exact numbers (dimensions etc.) are
specified

IMHO there should be a drm core function that parses the flag and deals with it
accordingly


> able to specify these underscan parameters to the kernel module.
Please feel free to send us an RFC/patch :)

This is a separate issue, please provide more information in the newly opened
bug report - dmesg, Xorg.0.log, application name etc.
