Ubuntu Server 19.10.1 not showing screen's left side

Wed Dec 11, 2019 5:32 pm

I've installed Ubuntu Server 19.10.1 for Pi without a hitch. It works as expected BUT I can't see the left side of the screen, which makes editing txt files close to impossible. I'm connecting my RBPi4B to an OLED 4K LG TV. Any ideas?

Please check the value of xres and yres, maybe change them could fix your issue.

Where would I change them? Fbset doesn’t come installed, I installed it but don’t see any changes when I try enforcing geometry. I use tty only.

I solved it, in the end I had to add a few lines in /boot/config.txt to change HDMI group to DMT and try different HDMI modes until getting one showing the screen properly.
