<html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- DIV {margin:0px} --></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><DIV>Hi everyone. I am trying desperately to get a high definition mythtv box up and running. Please be understanding as I have tried to look everywhere for an answer to this issue and have not been able find an answer.</DIV>
<DIV>I have managed to get everything going except my connection to my TV. I have a Sony GWIV or KDF-60WF655 tv. I got a bunch of powerstrip timings off of the avsforum site for my TV. When I first put "IgnoreEDID" "1" I was getting a 720x480 resolution. I realized after looking at my Xorg.0.log file that that option was deprecated and I changed the line to "UseEDID" "FALSE" which caused instead of the low resolution a blank screen. I tried most of the resolutions in my Xorg file below and none work. All result in a blank screen. I know the connection is okay since I can get the desktop on my TV before I fixed the UseEDID problem. I have a NVIDIA FX5200 generic video card with 128MB of ram. The card is hooked to the TV via a DVI to HDMI cable. My video driver is version 8756 which I got from the yum atrpms.net server.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am hoping someone reading this mail list has a GWIII or GWIV Sony TV and can give me some pointers. I have read all over the internet and cannot seem to figure this one out. Thanks in advance for your help. (Please give instructions if you need more info since I am new to linux.)</DIV>
<DIV>I have not gone into the service manual on my tv if that matters. I am using the 8756 nvidia driver.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here is the necessary sections of my xorg.conf file: (Three items I guessed on are HorizSync, VertRefresh, and the +hsync and +vsync. Can you give me more info on this because the powerstrip timings I found do not let me know how to set these items).</DIV>
