Im running XBMCbuntu 12.2 on an Acer Revo Nettop with the Nvidia Ion graphics chipset, connected to the TV via HDMI.

I changed XBMC to output at 1080p which works fine until i put the Acer nettop to sleep, when it resumes from sleep the resolution always reverts to 1366x768.

How can it force XBMC to always stay in 1080p?

Can anyone advise?

Thanks.

For anyone who randomly finds this in the future, i fixed my own problem after trying various things and spending about 3-4 hours on Google.

You need to edit your xorg.conf

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I added the following which is highlighted in bold below

Section "Screen"
Option "HWCursor" "Off"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "NoLogo" "True"
Option "DynamicTwinView" "False"
Option "metamodes" "1920X1080_60 +0+0"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080_60"
EndSubSection
EndSection

After rebooting 1920X1080 @ 60hz was the default system wide resolution, so XBMC happily now sticks to 1080p when resuming from standby.

Easy when you know how i guess...
