I am trying to configure a openSUSE 11.2 box as a HTPC, it has a ATI Radeon HD 3200 card in it. The only kind of display connected to it is my TV, connected through HDMI port, when I use the radeonhd driver then 800x600 and 1280x720 result in the same resolution which is to big for my TV so I end up with things off screen. When I use the fglrx driver then it configures my TV for 1920x540 which my TV can not do, it can only do up to 720p. So right now I am stuck with ether seeing a black screen because my TV can't handle the resoultion it is trying to do or have parts to the desktop/programs/what ever being off screen and the radeonhd drivers seem to be unable to do sound through the HDMI port as well.
Anyone know any solutions or workarounds to my problem?
Well, this is sort of a non-standard kludge, but what I ended up doing was running nomachine nx server and client on the same machine. Doing this I could connect use the client to set a non-standard window size, which allowed me to see the entire desktop. >> www.nomachine.com << Like I said, it's not a pretty solution, but it worked for me. My non-standard sizing wound up being something like 1100x600 on a crt-based 16x9 sony hd tv. The video card is set up for 1280x720@60p. Can't speak to audio on hdmi - I'm using the digital out of a soundblaster card. opensuse 11.0, kde 4.x Good Luck.
