Radeon HD 2400 HDMI Audio working, kind of...

mythms: Thanks for all that.

Any reason for not starting X with startx -- -logverbose 6 to create your Xorg.0.log? Note the 6. You can also use any number greater than 6. It appears that you have used 5. Although,....

I guess it is possible that some X-saboteurs (similar folk to the well known kernel saboteurs) may have rewritten the X-server recently to report far less information (than the version I am using) and in an obscured (ie hex) format. This would be expected (at some point).

mythms, I need the results of startx -- -logverbose 6 to determine if the modelines are set correctly.

The option -logverbose 6 means that the X-server tries to validate each mode (both custom and standard modes) in turn.

If a mode is not valid, it reports the reason why it is not valid.

What a time to go on vacation.

Anyone else got a Vizio VW26L HDTV. Maybe we can work things out for mythms.

@mythms

try 1360x768, because native res is 1366 wide of course you get a small black boarder left+right. 1368 is too big.

The 1366x768@60 seems weird since 1366 is not divisible by eight and will be rejected by the X-server.

Is that why you suggest 1368 (which is too big) and 1360?

[Kano]

You have to use 1360 in those cases. The native res is however 1366, so you have to live with some small borders.

[Jade]

It seems that mythms has deliberately avoided coughing up the results of startx -- -logverbose 6

Why do you think this is?

Anyone wish to speculate on this?

[Jade]

Looks like mythms also lied about the setup.

Not only will 1368x768 be too large a resolution, but the Vizio-VW26L manual states this:

Computer: 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1366x768 thru VGA/RGB or 640x480 thru HDMI

That is, when using the TV as a computer monitor, you only get 640x480 resolution thru HDMI (not the 1368x768 or 1366x768, claimed by mythms).

So,... why all the apparent deception? What exactly is going on here?

[Jade]

Anyone willing to hazard a guess at the motives here?

Anyone willing to hazard a guess at the motives here?

No one know, or no one wants to say?

[Jade]

How about the idea of folk posting their EDID mode-lines in a separate thread?

[Jade]

mythms: Did you ever get all this working?
