Monitor overscan gone?

Help

Since the latest Fedora 39 update I have “color range” for monitors, but no “overscan” anymore?

This is still Plasma 5, what happened?

Is that overscan feature gone somehow?

Nope, I think it is supposed to be there. I still have it on 6.1.

As a workaround you can try kscreen-doctor like this:

kscreen-doctor output.montitorname.overscan.percentage

For example on my Monitor with 10% overscan it would like this:
kscreen-doctor output.HDMI-A-2.overscan.10

For all options see: kscreen-doctor -h

I know that there was an option to change overscan? Must have gone some time Plasma 5.27 ?

I will switch to Plasma 6 soon, but the many Kubuntu users will not. This is a dealbreaker.

I tried it now.

kscreen-doctor -o
Output: 1 eDP-1 enabled connected priority 1 Panel Modes ...
Output: 2 HDMI-A-1 enabled connected priority 2 HDMI Modes...

kscreen-doctor output.HDMI-A-1.overscan.20

It gave no errors but didnt change anything, also not after plugging out and back in

This is still happening. I have a monitor with huge overscan need and the overscan option is still gone.

The terminal commands are also still not working.

Fedora Kinoite 40, Plasma 6.1.3

The option isn’t “gone”, but you seem to be on Intel, and the Intel driver has sadly never supported it

oooh! crazy, this is a GPU driver issue?

I thought this could be done by the compositor?

Could a possible workaround be to just display the desktop smaller?

The compositor could do it, but that’s not implemented right now. Changing that is planned, but idk when it’ll happen
