Greetings
I have a Dell Inspiron 5584 laptop with an Intel Graphics 620 video card. I'm running Debian 10.1
The problem is the default screen resolution is way too high for me. When I lower the screen resolution in Control Center, the width of the display shrinks so that there is a large black border on either side.
I have been trying without success to find a way to expand the display to fit the screen. My question, is there a setting in The o/s, or a package to download, which will let me adjust the display dimensions?
Thanks

Re: Intel video display resolution issue
That GPU requires non-free firmware in firmware-misc-nonfree to function correctly, AFAIK.
It's not installed in the default DFSG-type Debian...do you have it?

I built my installer from the file debian-live-10.1.0-amd64-mate+nonfree.iso available here https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unof ... -firmware/, if that tells you anything.

Re: Intel video display resolution issue
Please post the requested output. Probably best to install the non-free firmware metapackage (if you don't already have it) because your CPU needs µcode as well.
