display problem through hdmi to tv

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
I have a Dell laptop, XPS M1330.
I had this problem with f12 originally but didn't go deeper with it.
Now I have updated the same system to f13 and experiment the same.
It has an hdmi-out connector and I'm trying to correctly configure it to send audio/video to hdmi only.
The connection is to a Panasonic 37" TV.
Audio is ok.
For video, after reading the tv specs I set these relevant parts in xorg.conf

Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "Default Layout"
        Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

EndSection

        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes     "1920x1080"
                ViewPort     0 0
        EndSubSection
EndSection

        Option      "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

It works and sends audio/video only to the tv, while the laptop display remains black, but it seems that upper and lower rows of the screen are not shown...
For example I don't see the top and bottom main bars.

xdpyinfo shows:
screen #0:
  dimensions:    1920x1080 pixels (650x366 millimeters)
  resolution:    75x75 dots per inch
  depths (7):    24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
  root window id:    0x15a
  depth of root window:    24 planes

so it seems correct

I know that I'm using proprietary nvidia module and the question would be somehow offtopic, but probably it is not related (only) to the driver..
Anyway I could also try to use nouveau driver and see if the problem arises with it too...
In the mean time any suggestion?

When X Windows System starts, the tv shows the label

WIDE
1080p

So it seems it accepts the 1920x1080 resolution.
BTW: on laptop
cat /proc/cmdline shows:
ro root=UUID=f829ca09-552e-46ce-85bd-779da1c90d17 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet rdblacklist=nouveau nomodeset elevator=deadline /dev/sda6

Thanks in advance,
Gianluca
