I wonder if anyone can help with a very frustrating problem that I am having. I have XBMC live 9.11 installed on my Asus Revo and all is working great bar one thing - the only signal that it will output to my Philips 37PF9830 TV is 1080i. Given that I only have the stock 1Gb RAM in my Revo, the performance is a little sluggish, but manageable.
Ideally, I'd like to output at 720p to help ease the load on the Revo, but no matter what resolution I choose the TV reports that it is receiving a 1080i signal.
I know that the problem lies somewhere in my xorg.conf file, and from several weeks of googling I can see that the Philips screens have problems with the EDID information that they supply to XBMC. Can anyone help me out with this at all?
I should flag that I'm not that familiar with Linux or xorg.conf files etc, so it would be good to have an explanation of exactly the type of info I need to put in and where.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
