to post my xorg.conf on the list because it won't apply to most folks, and people seem to think they can use
random modelines to solve their problems with X. Maybe it will help you, though. Also, it might not be perfect, but it works for me. Here it is:<br></div><br># RPM Fusion - nvidia-xorg.conf<br>#<br>Section "Monitor"<br>

Patrick said, you need to use "UseEDID" "False" like I've done above.
I also have "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "TRUE" in the Monitor section. You might have different options but this works for me in Fedora.
Otherwise, the modelines won't stick. It's in that Ubuntu forum link, I
think.<br><br></div><div>You
might not need a modeline at all if you just specify a valid resolution
in the Screen section. I had to in my case, but maybe you'd be fine
without a modeline. If so, you won't need "UseEDID" "False" and "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "TRUE"<br><br>To give some background on my configuration, I have a DVI cable from my video card together with optical audio out from my motherboard going into a powered adapter that sends out HDMI to my television. I did what I had to do, and it actually works okay for now. The adapter was pretty reasonable at Tiger Direct, if you need something like that. I wish I had other options but the television is limited.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>Do the nVidia settings part second. Get your
desired resolution for X first, and then do the overscan. The overscan
stuff just means subtracting 100 pixels at a time until you get the hang
of what's going on. It's a pain but you'll get it. You just have to
keep restarting X after making a change. In my system, I do "init 3" to
drop to a networking level without X, then "init 5" brings back X. I'm
sure it's a little different in SUSE. CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE is a rather
rude way to restart the X server. It's not always enabled, though. Or
reboot, but that takes longer :)<br><br></div><div>The +120 means 120 pixels in from the left side, I believe, and the +15 is 15 pixels down from the top. You can make these values negative if that's what your tv wants. In my configuration, 1045x675 is the real resolution, and the 1280x720 is stretched over it, if that makes any sense. I guess these numbers are all approximations. There are more details about these settings on that nVidia link on the wiki.<br>
