Solved AMD CCC Questions

[lehnerus2000]

Does the AMD CCC that is installed depend on the graphics chipset (i.e. different interface for different chipsets)?

When I install an AMD graphics card, the display always appears underscanned by about 10%.
On my main desktop, I can open CCC and adjust the overscan and underscan.

​

I've been trying an old HDD in another box.
I'm using the onboard graphics chip set (using the HDMI output).
The display appears to be underscanned by ~10%.

The CCC on this machine looks completely different and it has no adjustments for overscan and underscan.
Everything is presets, so nothing can be adjusted (apart from 3D settings).

​

The irony is that despite all of the complaints about drivers in Linux Distros, Linux Mint 16 "just worked" (i.e. proper resolution and scan width).

Does anyone know how I can fix the underscan issue?
Can I just download a different version of CCC and install it?

It shouldn't be different. What version of driver and CCC are you running?

Hi Mellon Head.

I finally succeeded after about a dozen more attempts.

I was able to get the AMD auto-detect tool to work (it only seems to work with IE on my PC).
I still had no luck after my first attempt to install the driver provided by the AMD auto-detect tool.

Your question about the CCC version made me suspicious that it wasn't being replaced/updated, when I was trying to install the 3 different driver versions.
After two uninstall attempts, I finally purged CCC and then I ran CCleaner and Glary Utilities.

I then installed the driver provided by the AMD auto-detect tool.
Once it was installed, I had a working AMD Vision Control Centre (i.e. it had the overscan/underscan control).

Yay!
