Hi,
(I posted this on nvnews: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show....php?p=1860104 and am reposting it here for more coverage)
This problem has manifested itself with all the 17x.xx drivers I have tried, and I finally decided to ask for help with it.
On Windows, My onboard Geforce 8200 nicely outputs 1080p at both 24 and 50 Hz with audio. IT JUST WORKS LIKE IT'S MEANT TO.
On Linux, auto configuration only gets me 1080i video modes, no matter what I do. logverbose 6 tells me that the non-interlaced 1080p modelines are added to the mode pool, but neither nvidia-settings nor xrandr can actually activate them.
Question 1) How do I get the drivers to use 1080p modes instead of 1080i modes without using silly modelines? This should just work.
Question 2) When I use some custom mode-lines using the output from logverbose 6 to configure non-interlaced 1080p modes (which works), I lose HDMI audio. This is the second problem I need help with.
HELP!
Thanks in advance
p.s. My Xorg.conf (the important bits):
Just in case it's important, this is what the driver adds to its mode pool AFTER the interlaced modes
