<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>I got the projector working. The issue was the resolution and a more powerful 5 volt supply to the HDMI audio stripper.</div><div><br></div><div>What I did was changed xorg.conf to add a second metamodes line as follows</div><div><br></div><div><div> Option "metamodes" "VGA-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, HDMI-0: 1920x1080 +1280+0"<br></div></div><div> Option "metamodes" "VGA-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, HDMI-0: 1280x720 +1280+0" <br></div><div><br></div><div>Then I connect the projector and enter xrandr -s 0</div><div>Then to switch back to the TV, I connect it and enter xrandr -s 0. I find it strange that the same command selects 1080p when the TV is connected and 720p when the projector is connected. I do need to issue the command to switch to 720p when I plug in the projector.</div><div><br></div><div>I would have thought I would need to enter xrandr -s 1 for one of these cases but I guess with the projector it just rejects the first option and the second one becomes -s 0.</div><div><br></div><div>It is a bit strange that I cannot switch to the 720p mode with the TV connected but if I issue xrandr -s 1 the TV is just disconnected from the desktop and myth moves to the Samsung. To get it back on the TV, I need to do xrandr -s 0 and close and open Myth to get it to show up in the correct location.<br></div><div><br></div><div>If I comment out the 1080p line, the TV will work in 720p so there is clearly something I don't understand about how X is dealing with this. But it works so that is the important part.</div><div><br></div><div>It would be nice to have an HDMI switch so I don't have to switch the cables but that is the next step. </div><div> <br></div><div>Thanks all for your help.</div><div><br></div><div>Allen</div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
