I have an Acer Revo with Vista which boots into Ubuntu on an SD card, which is connected to an Atec Full HD tv with an HDMI cable. In windows I could always get 1920x1080 to work using the nvidia control panel to adjust for overscan but ubuntu with xbmc would only get 640x480. I firstly tried all the explanations in this thread and others on the forum but they rely on the tv properly reporting EDID codes which my cheap ATEC display won't do. The working xorg.conf for my setup is:
Code:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig:  version 1.0  (buildmeister@builder63)

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Layout0"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
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"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "Unknown"
    HorizSync       15.0 - 46.0
    VertRefresh     59.0 - 61.0
    Option         "DPMS"
    Option       "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "TRUE"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    Option         "UseEdidDpi" "FALSE"
    Option       "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1920x1080"
    EndSubSection
    Option         "NoBandWidthTest" "TRUE"
    Option         "UseEdidFreqs" "FALSE"
    Option         "UseEdid" "TRUE"
    Option       "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes, NoVesaModes, NoUserModes, AllowNon60HzDFPModes, NoMaxPClkCheck, NoEdidMaxPClkCheck, AllowInterlacedModes, NoMaxSizeCheck, NoHorizSyncCheck, NoVertRefreshCheck, NoEdidDFPMaxSizeCheck"
    Option         "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "TRUE"
EndSection

One important thing to remember is that "UseEdid" "FALSE" disables sound over HDMI.
