Scaling up my desktop
by ab1jx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6J14V)
OK, I have overscan (or underscan) such as raspi-config can handle nicely. Except I'm on Debian, not Raspbian and running raspi-config was a disaster that made an SD card unbootable.
I have a black border of about 1/2 inch on all sides. This works, sort of:
Code:#!/usr/bin/bash
xrandr --output HDMI-1 --scale 1.2x1.2except (1) the screen edges stay the same and (2) it reverts to something more legible in a second. Variations on the scale line for 1.2, 0.8, 1.0 made a fun set of little programs but I'm just spinning my wheels. I should probably be using the transform function of xrandr instead. Somehow screen parts change but not the outside. I can do xrandr (to query) and I might see 2304 x 1296 instead of 1920 x 1080 but there's still 1/2 inch of black around the outside.
I can't find an example that I can quite grasp. I'm playing with https://github.com/qurn/xrandr-keystone-helper but this isn't quite what it's for (I have no projector/keystone).
