I have the westinghouse lvm-47w1 monitor and a nvidia 6300GS videocard. The two work perfectly together. I've never put a modeline in xorg.conf. It autodetected correctly the first time. I don't think there is any difference between the two DVI ports. I have the mythtv box on DVI 1 and the PS3 on DVI 2. Both do 1080p just fine. The PS3 autodetected 1080p. So the monitor actually "told" it that it supports 1080p on the 2nd DVI port. I have also run 1080p on both the VGA and component inputs (YcPbPr).

<br><br>> Hopefully this will fix it.<br>><br>> BTW, I know you wrote a lot of the early writeups on the PVR350's and getting them working (got me through a few early installs on redhat and gentoo). I am not sure if you still use one... but is there any optimization I can do to display PVR350 and 500 recordings on the westinghouse? I know there used to be some tricks to tweaking the video if you are displaying on a monitor, which is basically what this is right?
