Hi all,<br>
<br>
I've recently bought a shiny new <a itxtdid="2182063" target="_blank"

Bravia KDL32W5500 that I am using with MythTV 0.21 on CentOS 5. The
visuals work fine, pretty much out of the box, however I have a small
but annoying issue with the PC/TV. The FX5200 is connected to the TV
with a DVI to HDMI cable and I am using the NVidia drivers 173.14.20.<br>
<br>
If I boot the PC with the TV turned on everything initialises
correctly. If I turn the TV off and then back on again, I just get a
black screen as though the TV has no signal. If I log in remotely and
restart X I still get a black screen. In fact, the only ways that I can
get the TV to show the image that the PC is still (presumably)
outputting is by:<br>
<br>
- Changing the resolution of the X server in xorg.conf and restarting X<br>
- Rebooting the PC with the TV turned on<br>
- Unplugging the DVI/HDMI cable and plugging it back in again<br>
<br>
It appears to me that the PC isn't sending "something" to the TV that
it needs in order to recognise that a signal is present despite the
fact I can see the picture! Another side effect that I've noticed is
that occasionally the TV reports that it is about to go to sleep, again
presumably because it doesn't think that it is receiving a signal.<br>
<br>
Has anyone come across this before? Any ideas on how I can resolve it?
I've spent many hours digging around the 'net and haven't yet found the
cause/solution.<br>
<br>
I thought it may be related to this: <a

target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Nvidia-ca..._before_the_TV</a>,
but I've tried what is described without any joy. That said; the
symptoms I've described don't really match that anyway.<br>
<br>
Something like this: <a

target="_blank">http://thydzik.com/hdmion-a-solution...nal-on-hd-tvs/</a>
sounds right ... but I don't know how to do this in X.<br>
<br>

PS. My xorg.conf:<br>
