[opensuse-factory] HDTV - Mode Not Supported
Hello everyone, I have a fresh installation of 11.1 RC1 64-bit. The installation goes great, as does the loading screen after installation. Once it gets to the desktop, however, my display (Samsung 40" 1080p HDTV) goes blank and displays "mode not supported". I tried installing the ATI drivers (8.11) but this made no difference. Currently I'm using a little Samsung 15" LCD until the HDTV gets working. A note of interest however, the 15" LCD does not display the correct resolution either, it defaults to 800x600 (native is 1024x768). Any changes I make to the display (via 'Configure Desktop') are not saved. Hardware: AMD Phenom 9950 BE Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H 4GB RAM ATI Radeon HD 3300 (Integrated graphics) Samsung 40" 1080p HDTV (connected via HDMI) If any other info is required let me know. --Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

It's a known bug, there is no interest of fixing it.... https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434469 But you can get it working by manually editing your xorg.conf file. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I was actually able to fix this by doing "aticonfig --initial" after installing the ATI drivers. This is a newbie mistake that I should have caught, but little things like this slip by me from time to time. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Is this using the opensuse "radeonhd" driver or the ATI fglrx driver? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
