HDMI outputting only 640x480, with black boarder
AU. Been googling this for 2 days now, trying various fixes which succeeded in only causing an Nvidia persistent error on boot. Although I did manage to increase the resolution at some point, the black border still existed.
PC is connected via hdmi to an LG tv. I had to install using nosetmode as the hdmi signal would drop during the ubuntu splash screen, if that makes a difference.
xrandr fails to get size of gamma, but if it manages to add the higher resolution, it still displays as 640x480 and I only see a corner. This is a fresh install of 18.04.
Some command examples:
snow-white@snow-white:~$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 640 x 480, maximum 640 x 480
default connected primary 640x480+0+0 0mm x 0mm
640x480 73.00*
snow-white@snow-white:~$ sudo lshw -C display

...then the question is "How did you install the driver?", and is it, perhaps the wrong version?
