The tool allows you to change the panel fitter settings, so you can change the size of the screen being displayed on your monitor without changing the real pixel size of your desktop. The biggest use case for this tool is to work around overscan done by TVs and some monitors in interlaced mode. v2: reviews by Ben, Chris and Rodrigo - don't install - use intel_register_access_init - check for maximum X and Y values - add a disclaimer saying this is not the real solution - print less when pf is disabled and option '-l' is used Signed-off-by: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
