You can't do 2560x1600 using the HDMI interface on the U3011. Only the DVI (using dual DVI cable) and displayport interface will go up to that resolution. The HDMI interface only goes up to 1920x1200. You could try adapters, but only a small number of them actually work. The following is from the U3011 users Manual:On Fri, 2011-04-08 at 23:09 -0600, Linuxguy123 wrote:On Fri, 2011-04-08 at 22:17 -0600, Linuxguy123 wrote:Any and all advice on how to proceed from here, ie exactly what to put in the xorg.conf file to tell the driver to ignore EDID and probings and use a modeline directly, will be appreciated.I just found this in the log file. 26.275] (WW) NOUVEAU(0): Option "UseEDID" is not usedI switched back to the nvidia driver and got this. 24.634] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "UseEDID" "False" [ 24.635] (**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling RENDER acceleration [ 24.635] (**) NVIDIA(0): Ignoring EDIDs [ 24.635] (II) NVIDIA(0): Support for GLX with the Damage and Composite X extensions is [ 24.635] (II) NVIDIA(0): enabled.

The bad news is that DFP-1 is the HDMI port. So the video card channel that feeds it is only rated for 165MHz output, which isn't enough to drive the U3011 at 2560x1600. Ironically, HP uses 330 MHz of bandwidth to drive the internal display, which is only 1680x1050. BUT WAIT. This laptop will drive 2 displays if I turn off the internal display. Surely the HDMI port would get the 330 MHz dlock then ? Long story short, it doesn't. The dual link port stays assigned to the internal display panel and the HDMI port gets the single link port. Even though Nvidia advertises some G8800s to have dual dual link interfaces. "Two dual-link DVI outputs for digital flat panel display resolutions up to 2560x1600" "Dual Dual-link DVI Support: Able to drive the industry's largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays up to 2560x1600. Available on select GeForce 8800 and 8600 GPUs." http://www.nvidia.com/page/8800_features.html In summary, there is no external port on the HDX9494 with a pixel rate high enough to properly drive the U3011. Unless one can redirect DFP-0 to the HDMI port, there is no way to fix this problem. Is there a way to reassign the internal video card port to the HDMI port ? The other interesting thing is that HP lists the pixel rate for 1920x1200 as 193.5 MHz in the U3011 manual, which is greater than the supposed 165 MHz clock limit on DFP-1 and it appears to drive it just fine. >From the U3011 manual: VESA, 1920 x 1200 74.6 60.0 193.5 -/+ Setting the display resolution to 2048 x 1280 (VGA input source) / 2560 x 1600 (DVI/DisplayPort™ input sources) / 1920 x 1200 (HDMI input source)(Optimal)For maximum display performance with Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, set the display resolution to 2048 x 1280 (VGA input source) / 2560 x 1600 (DVI/Display Port input sources) / 1920 x 1200 (HDMI input source) pixels by performing the following steps:Nataraj |
