Hmmm,<br><br>Good point Tom, it does seem strange that the log files say that the monitor is capable of supporting the 1024x768 mode but then won't let us use it.. maybe there's some interplay between the monitor & X going on that it's not telling us about...
<br><br>Damian, yes the reason I said "_60" specifically is because the Nvidia drivers seem to have this 60hz restriction, obviously we've tried to turn that off but maybe it's not listening? So we go for 60hz as a first step...

http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html</a>> of<br>both the 9xxx and 8xxx series have a standard ModePool format that can<br>be used to easily create a screen mode without the need of a modeline.<br>For the best results you will want to make sure you have the proper
<br>*HorizSync* and *VertRefresh* values in your Monitor subsection.<br><br>The format is simple,<br>/HorizontalResolution/*x*/VerticalResolution/*_*/frequency/<br><br>So the following line in your Screen subsection for your TV,
<br><br> Modes "1920x1080_60" "1280x720_60" "720x480_60"<br><br>would yield 1080p, 720p and 480p outputs<br><br> Modes "1920x1080_60i"<br><br>would yield 1080i output.
<br><br>These /*should*/ be compliant for DVI and component output on all TV's<br>so its probably worth trying before playing around with EDID and custom<br>modelines.<br><br><br>> As for your question of 'what aspect ratio mode and application mode do
<br>> you have the projector set to?' then unless the information above<br>> provides the information I do not know as I don't understand the<br>> question. The projector settings themselves have been left pretty much
<br>> at default factory settings.<br>><br>Your projector has settings for aspect ratio mode and application mode.<br>I assumed you had read the manual to see what it can do. It may be that<br>one of those settings is overriding what you are trying to do.
