NAME
intel_panel_fitter - Change the panel fitter settings
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/intel_panel_fitter [options]
DESCRIPTION
intel_panel_fitter is a tool that allows you to change the panel fitter
settings, so you can change the size of the screen being displayed on
your monitor without changing the real pixel size of your desktop. The
biggest use case for this tool is to work around overscan done by TVs
and some monitors in interlaced mode.
Options
-p [pipe]
pipe to be used (A, B or C, but C is only present on Ivy Bridge
and newer).
-x [value]
final screen width size in pixels (needs -p option).
-y [value]
final screen height size in pixels (needs -p option).
-d disable panel fitter (needs -p option, ignores -x and -y
options).
-l list current state of each pipe.
-h prints the help message.
EXAMPLES
intel_panel_fitter -l
will list the current status of each pipe, so you can decide
what to do.
intel_panel_fitter -p A -x 1850 -y 1040
will change the pipe A size to 1850x1040 pixels.
intel_panel_fitter -p A -d
will disable the panel fitter for pipe A.
NOTES
In the future, there will be support for this feature inside the Linux
Kernel.
Machines older than Ironlake are still not supported, but support may
be possible to implement.
