Overscan problems (can't fix on TV)
#1
I'm using the latest Debian Mate image from https://www.pine64.pro/downloads/, and my TV is unfortunately cropping a bit off the edge of the entire screen. Even more unfortunately, the display settings on the TV do not include an option that fixes it (just a few that make it worse).

When I had this problem with my RPi, I went into raspi-config and set the overscan value and it was fixed right away. I've now spent a few hours trying to scour the internet for a solution to this, all to no avail. Most seem to suggest using xrandr, but that doesn't appear to be an option either (unless I'm missing something), since it gives me this output, and won't let me set any properties for the monitor:

Code:
debian@pine64pro:~$ xrandr
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 1280 x 720, current 1280 x 720, maximum 1280 x 720
default connected 1280x720+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1280x720       0.00*

Are there any other fixes anyone has found? Also, strangely, this is a 1080p TV, so hopefully that resolution can be improved somehow as well?
