LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] TV not properly recognized by X

I ran the following command on the new laptop and can change the resolution.

Code:

gtf 1920 1080 60

xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00"  181.38  1920 2144 2360 2704  1080 1081 1084 1118  -HSync +Vsync

xrandr --addmode VGA1 "1920x1080_60.00"

xrandr --output VGA1 --mode  "1920x1080_60.00"

But it still has black on both sides of the picture, were the old laptop does not. Is this a driver issue? If so how can change the driver and does anyone have a suggested driver for an Intel i915 card.
