Xorg thinks the screen is larger than it is and can't use xrandr --transform
I have an old laptop I installed lubuntu 18 on, an HP 2133 with 1024x600 display.
After installing the openchrome drivers, it's being insistent on working at 1024x768 resolution, not deforming the display to fit in the screen but rendering the lower segment out of the visible screen. First I created a 1024x600 modeline, but even then it'll stretch the image and render part of it outside the visible display.
So I thought xrandr's --transform would work, which it didn't:
sudo xrandr --verbose --output FP-1 --transform 1.00,0,00,0,0.78,100,0,0,1
crtc 1: disable
screen 0: 1024x700 270x185 mm 96.09dpi
crtc 1: 1024x768 59.92 +0+0 "FP-1"
xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed
crtc 0: disable
crtc 1: disable
screen 0: revert
crtc 0: revert
crtc 1: revert
I also realize the offset value is too low writing this now, but don't think that matters.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Besides setting workspace margins could as a stopgap solution?
EDIT: As an interesting detail, the tty terminal is actually rendered at the correct resolution.
