My tv is a Sony KDF-55X955 which accepts up to 1080i resolution. I have tried many changed to the xorg.conf file and nothing seems to work. I have updated to the lasted nvidia drivers using Envy - which i believe is v177.
here is my current xorg.conf file:

here is a snippet from the Xorg log file

here is what showed up in the Xorg.0.log when i ran the command startx -- -logverbose 6

from this debug log i created the following log line:
Code:
Modeline "1920x1080@60" 74.25 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1094 1124 +hsync +vsync
however, no matter how i put it in the xorg.conf file, i can never get the screen right. It seems to not find this configuation anywhere.
