Finally found it.:From nvidia readme: === You can request a special mode by name in the X config file, named "nvidia-auto-select". When the X driver builds the mode pool for a display device, it selects one of the modes as the "nvidia-auto-select" mode; a new entry is made in the modepool, and "nvidia-auto-select" is used as the unique name for the mode. The "nvidia-auto-select" mode is intended to be a reasonable mode for the display device in question. For example, the "nvidia-auto-select" mode is normally the native resolution for flatpanels, as reported by the flatpanel's EDID, or one of the detailed timings from the EDID. The "nvidia-auto-select" mode is guaranteed to always be present, and to always be defined as something considered valid by the X driver for this display device. If all else fails, the X driver will use a built-in 800 x 600 60Hz mode for "nvidia-auto-select". === I'll try that on mine, but I don't know if it'll work or not. Seems I had to specify the mode to work because I have an older TV CRT and UseEDID didn't work. === The X driver can generally do a much better job of selecting the "nvidia-auto-select" mode if the display device's EDID is available. This is one reason why the "IgnoreEDID" X configuration option has been deprecated, and that it is recommended to only use the "UseEDID" X configuration option sparingly. Note that, rather than globally disable all uses of the EDID with the "UseEDID" option, you can individually disable each particular use of the EDID using the "UseEDIDFreqs", "UseEDIDDpi", and/or the "NoEDIDModes" argument in the "ModeValidation" X configuration option. === -- Brad Fuller www.bradfuller.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/atv-bootloader?hl=en -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
