Hey folks,
been playing around with my XBMC setup today, and wanted to try 720p instead of the usual 1080p I use with my Full HD 46" Plasma.
So I tried changing the resolution in XBMC settings. XBMC seems to scale the resolution, but still my TV receives a 1080p signal when selecting 720p in XBMC.
After that I tried changing my desktop resolution in Ubuntu 9.04. Setting 1280x720 there also scales the screen, but still the ouput, or better said input on the TV tells me it receives 1080p.
Am I missing something here? I would really like to be able to change the output of my HDMI port to something else than 1080p.
Here's my xorg.conf:

EDIT: solve by adding

to my xorg.conf
