I have an Intel i3 hooked up to the HDMI input of my 50-inch plasma |
| 2 |
TV. The TV's native resolution is 1366x768. It was bought in the |
| 3 |
summer of 2007. I have 2 problems I want to fix as far as displaying |
| 4 |
stuff on it is concerned... |
| 5 |

1) Despite the TV being native 1366x768, it defaults to 1280x720, which |
| 7 |
is the first mode listed in the EDID. Fixed-pixel displays show best at |
| 8 |
their native resolution So I ran "Xorg -configure" and created an |
| 9 |
xorg.conf file, and forced 1366x768 resolution. And got no picture. I |
| 10 |
tried X again at 128x720. Then I used xrandr to change to 1920x1080, |
| 11 |
and it worked. Used xrandr to change to 1366x768, and it hung. From |
| 12 |
Xorg.0.log ... |

Any ideas? |

2) Overscan... bleagh. It's rather difficult to start Firefox when the |
| 32 |
launch bar is off the bottom of the screen. It just barely pokes its |
| 33 |
head above the bottom. There's a bunch of magic that xrandr can work on |
| 34 |
VGA, but I'm using HDMI, so no go. And the TV does *NOT* have a VGA |
| 35 |
input on the back, regardless of what the xrandr output says. I've read |
| 36 |
about "xnest" and "xephyr" X "sub clients" that can use a smaller window |
| 37 |
within the main window. There don't seem to be any ebuilds for them. |
| 38 |
The one link I found for downloading the Xephyr source is a dead link. |
| 39 |
Any ideas? BTW, where's output from "xrandr", for what it's worth... |
