Reading the EDID worked fine on my TV, and after parsing it I got the
modelines I needed to go to the right resolution (1280x720 aka 720p)<br>

I don't know much about it either - I've been googling for quite a
while -
<br>
but I don't really know what to search for. I read somewhere about
someone
<br>
having a similar issue with a 30" TV, and the answer was the nvidia
drivers
<br>
couldn't support that resolution yet (I don't think it was 1680x1050).
<br>
<br>
The nvidia-settings program seems very limiting with telling it what
sort of
<br>
monitor I have. It's detected a 1600x1000 monitor, but won't let me
tell it
<br>
that it could go to 1680x1050.
<br>
<br>
I'm also confused about whether or not I need to add a modeline to
<br>
xorg.confto adjust the size of the screen. I don't know much about it,
<br>
but I've read
<br>
reading the EDID can damage some monitors? Is it safe to experiment
with
<br>
different modelines?
<br>
<br>
Thanks,
<br>
