what is the actual native resolution of the 32" hdtv? I would guess not |
| 12 |
as good as the 20" LCD, which is probably 1680x1200. HDTV can support |
| 13 |
up to 1920x1440 I think, but here in Aust. we only get 1600x1080 or |
| 14 |
something stupid like that. Unless it's a high end HDTV, you may not be |
| 15 |
getting 1920x1440. Try changing the resolution to 1024x768, then work |
| 16 |
your way up. Also try and get the frequencies of the tv, and set those |
| 17 |
explicitly. |

I don't know much about HDMI - is it just analog video (ie. component) |
| 20 |
with HD capability and DRM? |

If so, you may want to look for some TV settings in your xorg.conf like |
| 23 |
overscan. I've found that depending on the card / tv combo I'm using, |
| 24 |
the picture can be too big, too small, too far to the left, etc. |

yeah, that sounds like either the resolution is too big for the tv, or |
| 34 |
the video signal just needs a bit of tweaking! |

Conquest is easy. Control is not. |
