I created a xrandr script using arandr, which worked nicely getting the myth UI full screen. When playing video though there's a black rectangle above and below the video, like it's in widescreen. Not sure what's up there, perhaps the video is 720p and the screen is 1080? Tomorrow I'll play around with creating an xorg.conf.<br><div><br></div><div>-Jerry</div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun Jan 25 2015 at 5:46:57 PM Hika van den Hoven <<a href="mailto:hikavdh@gmail.com">hikavdh@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hoi Jerry,<br>

You might have then to create an xorg.conf (or better a xorg.conf.d/)<br>
There are ways to create your own EDID-file, but I have never tried<br>
that. Instead for my monitor with corrupted EDID I tell the driver to<br>
ignore it and have grabbed the modelines from Xorg.0.log.<br>
Generally you do that with 'Option "IgnoreEDID"' in the device section<br>
or 'Option "UseEDID" "Off"' in the monitor section.<br>
With nvidia you use something like:<br>
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0, DFP-0"<br>
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "CRT-0"<br>
Where CRT is ananog (also when through DVI-I with converter) and DFP<br>
digital (HDMI or DVI-D). It's all described extensively in their<br>
documentation.<br>
