I've been messing with this in the last couple of days and i tried to
connect the mainboard to my full hd tv using a hdmi cable...
It all worked out just fine with one notable exception... the borders
of the screen get shopped off... Checking with xrandr confirms that my
screen is running in 1920x1080 at 60Hz but about a border of about 30 to
40 pixels on all borders (left,right,bottom top) is missing... is
there a way to solve this?
