[mythtv-users] X problems with 845G/GL and Sony Bravia KLV-S32A10

[Rob Lowe]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a Dell Dimension 2400 as a myth system and can't
get wide screen resolutions to work.

The LCD manual has a PC compatibility chart which says that it should
be able to handle a WXGA signal at 1280x768 - H frequency 47.40kHz and
47.78kHz - V frequency 60Hz, VESA.

I have run this configuration successfully under windows at 1280x768.
I used PowerStrip to generate the following ModeLines:

"1280x768" 79.500 1280 1344 1472 1664 768 771 778 798 -hsync +vsync

"1280x768" 79.800 1280 1344 1472 1664 768 771 778 798 -hsync +vsync

and used 915resolution to overwrite an unused mode to 1280x768. But
now the Xserver does not bail out, but no picture appears.

I've also tried the mode listed
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Modeline_Database#Sony_Bravia_KLV-S32A10E_.28KLV-S40A10E.2C_KLV-S32A10E.2C_KLV-S26A10E.2C_KLV-S23A10E.2C_KLV-S19A10E.29
but it failed with a "exceeds DDC maximum 80MH" error.

I'm using a Ubuntu 2.6.17-11 kernel with the following packages:

915resolution   0.5.2-4
xserver-org   7.1.1
xserver-org-video-i810   1.6.5-0

Any help on getting this set up to display the 1280x768 resolution
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Rob.
