My guess: you had previously set "IgnoreEDID" (as many 1080p TV's don't
provide valid EDID info to support a 1080p resolution). "IgnoreEDID" is
now deprecated (and no longer affects the behavior of the X driver).
You need to specify "UseEDID" and/or "UseEdidFreqs", "UseEdidDpi", and
"ModeValidation".

BTW, does anyone else absolutely hate that they now have a "pretty" HTML
README, but no plain text version? No more "Find in page" to search the
whole README--you have to know/find the right section first... If
anyone's found a single-page (HTML or text) README on the website, I'd
love to know the address. :)
