Wink laptop screen cut off top and bottom on attached hdmi screen


Just joined this forum and it looks good...Here is my first question...I am running Puppy Linux...I love it, but my eyesight is no longer what it was, and so I am running a much larger HDMI screen so I can see everything ok...Unfortunately, I cannot get the resolution right..it always cuts off a little of all four sides of the laptop screen...I have played with different resolutions but this is the best I can achieve...any ideas?...would it be helpful to have something with which I can create custom resolutions?
Thanks, scraginaglin

Check out xrandr for setting the correct screen size.
