Are you using component video? If so there shouldn't be any edid info as that's only used on digital connections.
-- edit just saw your post ... since you are using component there is no edid to worry about.
can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Will leave this info here since it might be useful to others --
If you are using HDMI or DVI this will work:
1. Exit out of xbmc (choose exit in the menu). This should leave you with a regular console on your tv screen.
2. ssh into the ATV
3. start xorg with a log level high enough to log the edid info
(all we are looking to do is start X for a second so it dumps the info to the log file and then we can kill it)
Code:
startx -- -logverbose 6
5. kill the x server by pressing ctrl+c in your ssh window
6. Dump the edid information using the following command
Code:
sudo nvidia-xconfig --extract-edids-from-file=/var/log/Xorg.0.log --extract-edids-output-file=/home/xbmc/edid.bin
You should see a success message similar to this:
Code:
Found 1 EDID in "/var/log/Xorg.0.log".
Wrote EDID for "SONY AVAMP (DFP-0)" to "/home/xbmc/edid.bin" (256 bytes)
That's it. The edid.bin file will be in your home directory.
