[mythtv-users] Asus P5E-VM HDMI G35 video config

[Craig Anderson]

Pete,

I have the same problem with Mythbuntu, and had the same problem with
Gentoo.  I did mange to have a working setup with Gentoo for around a year,
but I kept putting off the xorg/intel driver upgrade, until last week, I
couldnt be bothered spedning time fixing Gentoo, so put Mythbuntu on.

Basically, what I get is the POST then the 'terminal' but as soon as X loads
the screen goes blank.  On my Panasonic Plasma, this means out of range.

The TV incorrectly reports the modes it can display (or the PC incorrectly
reads them im not sure which) so the image cannot be displayed.

The fix for this is to use a "Modeline" for your TV.  I can check right now
but I am certain the Mythtv Wiki has a modeline database, check there and
put it into the correct place in Xorg.conf (I have not got this far yet and
am unsure of the new structure of it for the new intel driver).

You should then have a picture on your screen!

Craig
