    drm/radeon/kms: disable underscan by default · 56bec7c0
    Alex Deucher authored
    Lots of HDMI TVs overscan the incoming image by default.
    The underscan option was added as a way to compensate for
    that by underscanning the image so that the edges would
    not be cut off on an overscanning TV.  However, the TV
    provides no way of knowing whether it is overscanning or
    not.  If the user has disabled overscan on their TV or has a
    TV that does not overscan, you will get black bars around the
    edges of your screen.  Prior to the patch we got complaints
    and bug reports from users with overscanning TVs, now with
    the patch, we get lots of complaints and bug reports from
    users with non-overscanning TVs.  There's no good default,
    but on average there have been more users complaining about
    it being on by default than off, so change it to off.  This
    will probably result in a new deluge of overscanning TV user
    complaints.  There's no winning.
