To answer your earlier question, yes, I am using the modified custom EDID file method described with the 180.29 drivers (it worked with 180.35 too as well, but those drivers broke other things).<br><br>Initially when I set up my new 9400 GT I noticed a large amount of overscan on the screen and a hissing noise that I thought was a fan spinning at full speed. The noise turned out to be coming from the tv speakers because of this flag being set in the EDID. Removing it fixed both problems for me.<br>
<br>As you've discovered, the only other option is to ignore the EDID entirely, but then you're stuck not knowing the modelines your tv is expecting.<br><font color="#888888"><br>-Alex<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>Ignoring the EDID works great for sound... but just using the modelines in xorg.conf didn't seem to work I don't see why though.. it should.<br><br>I'm a little confused on exactly what is being removed from the EDID.bin when modifying it, is it the sound portion? If so, then wouldn't xorg.conf just need to know here the file is?<br>
