Connecting to TV using xrandr clips workspace when using HDMI
Hi. When I connect my laptop to a TV, part of the workspace gets cliped at the edges.
This is a only a problem when using the DisplayPort -> HDMI cable, not using the VGA cable.
Every mode on HDMI gets cliped - some more than other.
I've tried every permutation of every setting on the TV, so I'm beginning to suspect my computer.
The problem isn't tied to my TV either. I've tried the cable on a different TV with the same result (but didn't try as many settings there).
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T520.
Not sure what output would be helpful, so please ask for more if you think you might be able to help 
EDIT: Kernel info (although I've had this issue on previous kernels too)
