This is my HTPC machine, hooked up to a 50" Panasonic Plasma TV. It's native 1366x768, but it kept on coming up 1280x720. I needed an xorg.conf "Modes" line to bring up 1920x1080 or 1366x768. As root, I ran "Xorg -configure" and copied xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. X works now, if I do not specify the resolution. It also works with resolution 1920x1080, as well as the original 1280x720. SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1920x1080" EndSubSection However, X hangs at various other resolutions, notwithstanding that they're listed in both the TV's EDID and in the xrandr output. Plus I have other issues so I'll be starting a separate thread. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
