sparkyhall Wrote:@erhnam that's because there is no edid information to read so X does not now what resolutions your TV can support so it plays safe and sets it to 640x480. The way I solved this was to save a copy of the edid info as a file in xbmc home directory and then I use the file instead by adding the following option to xorg.conf.
Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-1:/home/xbmc/youredid.bin"
I saved a copy of my edid running the nvidia-settings app while logged in via ssh.
This is very interesting, becuase I too have an issue with my amp / tv compination that when running in a full resolution 1360x768, i get the screen in green. In windows I fix this by forcing the resolution down to 720p and it works perfectly. Since the display is automatically found as max res 1360x768, I cannot change it do 720p. If i do this in xbmc it simply does it by scaling not actually changing the resolution output.
I need to force the output to 720p, but I cannot dump my TV bin file since its actually 1366x768. Any ideas.... :S
