Hi all,
I'm trying to set up a MythTV box using suse 10.2 and am having
troubles getting any sort of custom modelines to show up as an option
in the resolution changer application.
So first my hardware. It's an Asus barebones P.C. (Spec documented at
http://users.sisna.com/mcole/asus-t2-ah1-mythtv-linux.html) which has
an AMD Athlon 64 CPU and onboard ATI Radion X300 video. I'm trying to
use the DVI output to connect to a Samsung plasma HDTV (using HDMI
port).
I've tried modifying the xorg.conf file, then rebooting, logging
out/in, killing gdm and running startx, etc.
No matter what I do, the resolutions I add do not seem to appear in
the "change resolution" application in the default gnome based
desktop. In fact the list in this application does not seem to line up
with the xorg.conf file at all. (There are resolutions there which are
definitly not listed as modes in the xorg.conf file).
So, my question is this: Once I add a custom modeline in the xorg.conf
file, how do I switch to that resolution from the Gnome desktop?
Strangely enough, I think the modes are being used by gdm (the aspect
ratio looks like a widescreen HDTV setup), but once the desktop starts
up, the mode seems to be gone?
Many thanks,
Robert

You maybe need to put NoEDID option for the device. This will turn off
the auto detection of the spects of your tv and will use what you
supplied as modelines.

Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just
a pile of scrap.
