I was running without an xorg.conf. This is my HTPC machine, hooked |
| 30 |
up to a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV. It's native 1366x768, but it kept on |
| 31 |
coming up 1280x720. I needed an xorg.conf "Modes" line to bring up |
| 32 |
1920x1080 or 1366x768. As root, I ran "Xorg -configure" and copied |
| 33 |
xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. X works now, if I do not specify |
| 34 |
the resolution. It also works with resolution 1920x1080, as well as the |
| 35 |
original 1280x720. |

EndSubSection |

However, X hangs at various other resolutions, notwithstanding that |
| 44 |
they're listed in both the TV's EDID and in the xrandr output. Plus I |
| 45 |
have other issues so I'll be starting a separate thread. |
