Topic: HDMI port connected to 1280x1024 Monitor

Just booted up my Novena board and it seems that both the VTY and Xorg are interpreting my monitor as having a 1920x1080 resolution (it's "overscanning") instead of its native 1280x1024.

Is this expected? Easily fixable? Is HDMI output in Novena hardcoded for a 1920x1080 display?

I was able to fix this by disabling both LVDS interfaces in the EEPROM and rebooting. With only HDMI enabled, both the console framebuffer and Xserver use the correct display resolution.
