I experimented at one time with defining a resolution and frequencies<br>
for 1080p output,<br>
the display showed '1080p' as the input format, but the result was<br>
always excessive overscan.<br>
<br>
When I use the correct panel resolution and frequencies, the display<br>
shows 'PC' as the input<br>
format, and displayed without any overscan.<br>
<br>
What is your TV? Model? Native Resolution? Unless something is wrong<br>
with your EDID,<br>
a custom modeline will very rarely prove advantageous.<br>
<br>
Can you run "X :0 -probeonly -logverbose 6" and post the output? On<br>
Ubuntu, output<br>
will probably go to /var/log/Xorg.0.log<br>
<br>
<br>
BTW, I used an NVIDIA card, so it mostly took care of all the resolution<br>
and timing<br>
transparently, and did a very good job. You might consider upgrading<br>
unless you are<br>
particularly fond of ATI for some reason.<br>

Where I set this, appeared that all I was doing was setting a descriptive label, but apparently it goes deeper than that. Good luck.<br>
