Are you testing under those conditions? Because long cables can cause problems. It may be useful to test with shorter leads. As I recall, 5 metres is the maximum for USB. Anything longer requires a USB repeater in the cable (active extension leads), plain wires over the maximum length isn't reliable. I cannot recall an absolute maximum length being specified for HDMI, but do recall that the quality of the cable, and of the circuitry in the equipment at either end of it, will have a definite effect on the length of cable will work well. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.6.7-4.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 20 19:40:01 UTC 2012 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
