Black borders after installing Calalyst 14.4

  • 772

Have just done a hardware upgrade with existing Ubuntu 14.04, including an AMD APU A10-7700K. But I found that the 3 offerings in Additional Drivers didn't work properly so I couldn't start the Control Centre, and couldn’t get OpenCL. So I installed the Catalyst 14.4 package from AMD (which wasn't too hard!), but now I get a black border on my screen. My monitor is a Samsung 22" LED S22D300. Otherwise all seems OK. I found some instructions at wiki.cchtml.com but didn't work. Playing with the settings in Control Centre didn't work either. Anyone else have this problem? How to fix it?

  1. Problem solved here:

    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD

    See para 5.2. In a terminal:

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

    sudo reboot

    Now have nice full screen!
