Need help configuring nvidia ION output to TV
#1
Hello,

I've been using XBMC for like 8 months now without a problem.
Currently, my setup is an Asus S1-AT5NM10E (NVIDA ION II GT218), no need to tell every details about it, 4 Gb ram, SSD, etc...
I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed, with XBMC 10.1.
My TV is a LG 42PC1R, HD Ready plasma.

Everything is working well, and the box has been setup to use HDMI (ofc), at a resolution of 1080i.

Anyway, my problem is, my xorg.conf I think:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Layout0"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    Option         "Xinerama" "0"
EndSection

Section "Files"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    # generated from default
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    # generated from default
    Identifier     "Keyboard0"
    Driver         "kbd"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
    # HorizSync source: edid, VertRefresh source: edid
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "LG Electronics 42PC1R-ZH"
    HorizSync       31.0 - 64.0
    VertRefresh     58.0 - 75.0
    Option         "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "ION"
    Option "DynamicTwinView" "False"
    Option  "HWCursor"            "false"
    Option         "ConnectedMonitor"   "DFP-0"
    Option         "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "TwinView" "0"
    Option         "metamodes" "DFP: 1920x1080_50i +0+0"
    #Option         "metamodes" "1280x1024 +0+0"
    Option "TVStandard" "HD1080i"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
    Option         "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

As you can see, it is currently configured to use the EDID file I have setup with this TV.
I'll soon buy a new TV, and I'll need the box to be able to work on both TV (not at the same time tho). For this, I'll use an HDMI Matrix 4x2.
The new TV will be 1080p, so I'll need the box output to be 1080p.

What is the best xorg.conf configuration for me ? Is there a way to set an automatic output resolution (and set XBMC to always use highest possible resolution) ?

Thanks for the answers!
