| Post subject: | R5E50 and Xorg change |
Hello, I just upgraded from R5C7 to R5E50 and am having some problems getting my display set up correctly. I am outputting to a Boxlight 20HD projector via DVI. I need to disable EDID as the projector transmitts that it can only handle up to 1024x768 when it actually does 1360x768. So, I made all of the changes to my xorg.conf file, input the proper modeline that I had been using and added the option to "UseEDID" "FALSE". However, no matter what I change I only get 800x600. I also tried to set the "ModeValidation" to "NoEDIDModes" Here is the pertinent section of my Xorg.0.log with the ModeValidation change: Code: (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce 6600 GT at PCI:1:0:0 (--) NVIDIA(0): VideoRAM: 131072 kBytes (--) NVIDIA(0): VideoBIOS: 05.43.02.66.51 (II) NVIDIA(0): Detected AGP rate: 8X (--) NVIDIA(0): Interlaced video modes are supported on this GPU (--) NVIDIA(0): Connected display device(s) on GeForce 6600 GT at PCI:1:0:0: (--) NVIDIA(0): BOX BOXLIGHTCinema 20HD (DFP-0) (--) NVIDIA(0): BOX BOXLIGHTCinema 20HD (DFP-0): 310.0 MHz maximum pixel (--) NVIDIA(0): clock (--) NVIDIA(0): BOX BOXLIGHTCinema 20HD (DFP-0): Internal Dual Link TMDS (II) NVIDIA(0): Mode Validation Overrides for BOX BOXLIGHTCinema 20HD (II) NVIDIA(0): (DFP-0): (II) NVIDIA(0): NoEdidModes (WW) NVIDIA(0): Mode "800x600" is too large for BOX BOXLIGHTCinema 20HD (WW) NVIDIA(0): (DFP-0); discarding.

Try adding this to your xorg.conf. Option "MetaModes" "1024x768" Xorg should start now with the right mode that you are looking for. |

Well I tried adding Code: Option "MetaModes" "1024x768" and alternatively Code: Option "MetaModes" "1360x768" but I get the same errors as above with the additional line of Code: (WW) NVIDIA(0): No valid modes for "1024x768"; removing.
I tried using the MetaModes in both scenarios: Completely ignoring the EDID data, and just ignoring the EDID modes. Any other ideas? |

I did a few more searches on the errors I was receiving and one forum suggested the use of the "ExactModeTimingsDVI" option. Once I set that as TRUE in my device section everything started working. Hopefully this helps someone else as well. |

I've been running into the same problem with a Sony KDL-40V2500 (1080p set). The modeline is present for the 1920x1080 resolution but it won't set it when X starts. I then tried: nvidia-xconfig --mode=nvidia-auto-select which is supposed to choose an "appropriate" resolution. In my case it went with 1400x1050, which did work. But that of course is a nice 4:3 aspect ratio - not exactly what I was after 
I'll try what you posted when I get home from work... thanks for the tip. |
