I'm a bit of an edge case compared to most in that I'm using an HDMI splitter to drive as RaspberryPi based Ambilight type system. With my old, nVidia based box using Ubuntu and the exact same routing, I had no problem with the video card seeing a 1920x1080p @ 60Hz capable display, and running 24p when watching content. With the Chromebox running through the splitter, I'm maxing out at 1920x1080p @ 30Hz. Running directly into the display, I can see 60Hz so obviously, the Chromebox is not happy with the splitter in the display path.
I can handle xorg.conf fine, but xrandr is new to me. Any ideas as to how to override what xrandr is seeing and force the modes that were working on the old Ubuntu based system?
don't use a splitter, use the HDMI output to your display and a DisplayPort->HDMI adapter to feed the ambilight. Or you'll need to clone the EDID data coming from the display and force that to load on startup, but I'm not sure how reliable that is, nor have I ever done it myself.
