I know that this is the case for me -- I have my Nvidia 5200FX connecected via a DVI to HDMI cable to a Panasonic AE700U projector, which has a native resolution of 720p. But the projector won't return the timing info for EDID - so I set IgnoreEDID in xorg.conf, and specified the Horizontal, Vertical, and DotClock settings provided in the projector manual, along with a modeline that worked in Windows with Powerstrip. But XWindows _still_ won't work at 720p across the DVI port! (Even though the exact same configuration _will_ work in XWindows across the VGA port.) I would still prefer to be able to connect via DVI/HDMI -- has anyone else had this trouble? Does anyone have any suggestions? (I'm away from my MythTV box right now, but I can post my xorg.conf this evening if anyone thinks they might be able to help...) Thanks, ~Dean Wilson
