I got some serious issues (since i consider myself a linux newbie) with my new setup
MSI-H57M-ED65
with I5-661 CPU
OS lxde ubuntu 11.10

Cant force to start X with default 1920x1080 when my amplituner is connected to hdmi but OFF
any chance to get some support with that?

here is my xorg.conf

I had that problem a long time ago. I believe the trick was to dump the edid of your system when turned on through nvidia settings. below is my xorg.conf that I use today (You will likely need to modify it). I always keep it handy for the next time there is a re-install. Hopefully it's helpful, I am sure there is extra stuff in my xorg but am a firm believer in do not mess with what works!

Update : I see you are not running a nvidia card so you will have to look elsewhere on how to dump your edid
