Ok... I guess I'm completely frustrated here... I finally got it doing 1920x1080 by adding this line to my xorg.conf:<br><br> Option "ModeValidation" "NoVertRefreshCheck"<br><br>But... aside from that... regardless of what resolution I seem to set... the UI menus are just way too big... it's not the menu that includes "Watch TV" ... it's the configuration menus... and I've tried forcing the UI size setting it lower... but that just resizes the UI on the window... the UI menus are still out of whack relative to my UI size...
<br><br>I'm really hurtin' here... can anyone offer me any insight... to proper modelines for this thing... configuration settings... <br><br>I'm running v.20 on Gentoo 2006.1<br><br>Thanks.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Well... it's a Samsung TX-S2782H ... I've been trying to reason out the 1080i modeline for this thing... there's one big problem I'm running up against... when I do a "get-edid" ... part of the output is this:<br>
<br>Monitor and video card combination does not support DDC1 transfers<br>Monitor and video card combination does not support DDC2 transfers<br>0 seconds per 128 byte EDID block transfer<br>Screen is not blanked during DDC transfer
<br><br>for some reason... it can't read DDC info via the DVI -> HDMI cable?...<br><br>So... the Xorg automagically detects the resolution at "800x600" ... and in the Appearance menu... which is impossible to read (so I used my 17" CRT to configure it...) ... I told it to use a different resolution (640x480) for the UI...
<br><br>One thing that might be the problem is... I'm using KDE... and when KDE first fires up... the login screen and desktop are way too big too... so not sure if this is a problem with KDE, MythTV... or nVidia overscan...
<br><br>Thoughts?<div><span class="e" id="q_10e0c2c9ae68bb53_1"><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/2/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Ivan Kowalenko</b> <<a href="mailto:ivan.kowalenko@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
