<DIV>Okay I managed to figure out my problem. Just wanted everyone to know because I think</DIV>
<DIV>it will affect anyone with a TV that does not report its EDID correctly. Everyone thanks so </DIV>
<DIV>much for your support. I used the modeline and information posted in the modeline database</DIV>
<DIV>on the mythtv web site and it still didn't work. The problem is with the new version of the </DIV>
<DIV>NVIDIA driver. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Instead of using</DIV>
<DIV>Option "IgnoreEDID" "1"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You have to replace that with</DIV>
<DIV>Option "UseEDID" "FALSE"<BR>Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "TRUE"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I originally had the UseEDID line but not the second line. The driver will still refuse</DIV>
<DIV>to display the modeline for my TV until I add the second line.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again,</DIV>
<DIV>Josh</DIV>
