So, I finally bought my 42" LCD TV :-D http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/toshiba-regza-42rv530u/4507-6482_7-32815260.html Now I need help making xorg.conf play nice. On bootup, connected via the VGA port, I can see the BIOS screen. When it gets to grub, the image gets slightly corrupted but I can make out enough detail to choose different options for a moment until the TV says "unsupported input" and displays nothing else. The machine has an Intel graphics chip. I decided I didn't need to go all out with a crazy specd system, and that all I needed was a cheap $250 PC from dell + hellanzb + vlc :-P The issue is that I can only get the display to work with VESA driver. Nothing else seems to work. However, I am no xorg.conf master and require some help. This LCD is a full hdtv 1080p. The specs are at the link above, but here is a quick summary. Display * Diagonal Size 42 in - Widescreen * Technology TFT active matrix * Resolution 1920 x 1080 * Display Format 1080p (FullHD) * Widescreen Modes TheaterWide, 16:9 * Pixel Response Time 8 ms * Max V-Sync Rate 60 Hz * Analog Video Format NTSC I want to get the 1920x1080 resolution. How can I do it?!?!?! Thanks guys!! PS - It's 93 degrees out here in Los Angeles. How is the weather back home in Boston??? -- Kristian Erik Hermansen http://kristian-hermansen.blogspot.com
