[mythtv-users] nvidia via DVI to LCD TV - no EDID if tv off causing problems

Hi
I have a NVIDIA GPU GeForce 9400 GT running on Ubuntu 10.04 / myth
0.23 connected to Panasonic flat screen via DVI using the proprietary
nvidia driver
If the TV is on during boot, X configures itself correctly; if it is
off, the graphics card can't retrieve the EDID info and X can not
start.
I have almost worked around this by manually setting xorg.conf.
However, I have one last problem
- if the TV is on during boot, the screen is perfect
- if the TV is off during boot, when I turn it on I can see X is about
20 pixels too large on all sides, almost as if overscan is turned on.
I can correct this by setting the overscan compensation in
nvidia-settings, but if the next time the system boots the tv is on
then the screen is too small! (overscan turned off in TV)
The only difference in Xorg.0.log I can see (except complaints about
not being able to retrieve EDID)is that if the TV is on, the last line
of the log reads NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1280x720_50.00" ; I don't
get this line if the TV is off during boot. Ican't see how to set this
mode from the command line- xranrd --output default --mode 1280x720
--rate 50 does not resize the screen
My xorg.conf is below- am I missing something?
