I had been using Ubuntu Classic with 11.04 for sometime. I tried switching to Unity and found that it doesnt use the full LCD. Theres a "black border" or unused portion of my LCD although the resolution remains at 1920x1080

Ah! I solved the problem by installing the latest driver by ATI/AMD.

I recommend opening up the monitors app. You should be able to adapt the monitor settings there.
