Greetings Fine Folk Of The Phoronix Forums!
I'm a bit of a newbie to both linux, and this forum (first post!). I've been having some trouble setting up my Fedora 11 based HTPC with my HDTV, and was hoping some of you might be able to help.
Basically, I get no signal on my tv 'till I run a console, and alternate between 'xrandr --output DFP2 --off' & 'xrandr --output DFP2 --auto' a few times. Only after about five or six times of doing this (it changes) the TV finally complies. I'm using the kmod-catalyst driver.
For now I have to keep a small LCD in my living room just to be able to start up the system (my MA-785GMT-UD2H's BIOS refuses to show POST, or anything else for that matter, through the HDMI), but I was hoping that maybe I could, with your help, script something up to get the TV working once X starts. My final goal is to just have 1 working desktop on my TV. Shouldn't be that hard, right?
So... any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Morton
