    Hi timaloy, welcome to the forums.

    I would advise installing the latest ATI drivers which should come with utilities to give control over screen output. There is normally a zoom function which I've had to use with Intel GFX to get full screen capabilities.

    Hope this helps :)

    With ATI, you are referring to OverScan.

    Applies to CCC 9.7 and 9.8 and 9.9
    as far as I know

    In the CCC advanced window
    Upper left corner - Graphics
    Desktops & Displays
    There will be a small image of a monitor in the bottom left corner
    NOT THE BIG ONE IN THE MIDDLE
    click the black arrow
    click configure
    scaling options

    This GUI sux.

    I grok that.

    I do hate this new ATI GUI. It took me about ten minutes to find the bleep setting.

    As someone mentioned before, the ATI control sux. I knew exactly what I was looking for, have used it before, and still took ten minutes to find it again.

    As such, you do not owe me for the brief face palm.
