Hi Folks,
Having no end of trouble getting HDMI to work on my myth frontend setup.
The PC running Mythbuntu 9.10 is an Acer Revo R3610, and my TV is a
Polaroid TLU-01911CU (appears as ProView TLU-01911CU in Nvidia XServer
Config.
I am using the NIVIDA drivers on mythbuntu for the HD playback,
however it won't display at 1440x900 as it should !
Seems the TV is giving out nonsense info about the resolutions it
supports! Keeps defaulting back to 640 x 480
My logs:

I found this link
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/xorg-conf-and-1440x900-resolution-254587/
seems to be almost same TV as mine, but it didn't work.
Just hoping someone can help me work out the modeline required to get
this TV to work in HDMI for the mythfrontend! I have it commented out
in my xorg conf:
# 1440x900 59.89 Hz (CVT 1.30MA) hsync: 55.93 kHz; pclk: 106.50 MHz
# Modeline "1440x900_60.00" 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903
909 934 -hsync +vsync
I need to try and work out the correct values to use I guess!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated !
THANKS FOLKS!
