HDMI resolution problems

I've some problems using the HDMI-Port of this laptop running
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470: When I start the laptop everything is printed to the HDMI-Port, everything works fine so far. But when I type startx the xserver starts up and prints an image that is bigger than the monitor although the resolution of 1920x1080 is right. When I stop xserver text on console is partial out of range.

I'm running

FreeBSD 8.2 with a custom kernel and the following packages (of interest):

xorg-server-1.7.7_1,1
xf86-video-ati-6.14.1_1
xinit-1.2.0_1
xrandr-1.3.4
libXrandr-1.3.0
fluxbox-1.3.1




I'm using an .xinitrc file:

Code:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --primary --auto 
xrandr --output LVDS --off
fluxbox

xrandr shows the following:
Code:

I'm not using xorg.conf .

Can you help me with this issue?
 
You should be able to enable/disable overscan in the driver via xrandr. At least I know that's possible on linux. What's the output of [cmd=""]xrandr --props[/cmd]
 
I think I know somehow what's the problem but nevertheless I don't know how to solve it.

When I activate both the laptop screen and the HDMI-Port and I mirror them then the upper left corner of the laptop screen is out of range of the screen connected to the HDMI-Port. It differs one to two centimeters. I need to tell the xserver that the corner of the laptop screen should be the corner of the other screen, but how can I do it?
 
here's xrandr --props

oh my ... I'm sorry guys :r
It was the screen. You can choose between two modes AV and PC. In PC-mode everything looks fine!!!

Thank's a lot!
