Hello,
I just wanted to tell you that I tried last week to get a Medion MD30238 (32" TV) working on HDMI. I brought a HDMI cable at ebay, and tried it, first there was only a black screen. Then after figuring an hour or so I got it to make a picture, but only not in the middle of the screen and also not the correct resolution. I tried every driver on earth:
With radeonhd there appeared one monitor, but it gave no screen. After at lot of trying around I made it to make a bad screen
With radeon there were *two* monitors in the xrandr gui of gnome, no idea why and what, but there was one screen too much. One "OEM something" and one other. Anyway, with radeon I got at least a picture, but also not perfect, but better than with radeonhd.
Then I tested catalyst. I needed a few (!) restarts to make it work at all, but then ne monitor was connected at all. After trying around again, it was able to recognise the monitor but could not make a picture.
After that I tried windows catalyst, an old version. There a picture out of the box, but with the wrong resolution. Then I tried the newest catalyst (9.3) and there was again no picture at all. I had to define a special mode, as if there was wrong edid data. But I could only get a wrong resolution. Or stretching, but that looks ugly again.
I searched in the internet and found out that this monitor does also not work with a special receiver and also not with it's native resolution.
1366 x 768 or so. I seems simply that this is a bad monitor.
In one week here are holidays, then I will to to get it working with open drivers again. I have just no time at the moment. Hopefully there will be an acceptable solution. HDMI cables are so expensive :/
