is a known issue for some of the Samsung Smart(?) TVs, so it is best to contact Samsung directly.

It is not only a known issue, it is perfectly legit for Samsung
to do that according to the CEA specs they follow. The problem
comes from moron programmers who persist in believing that
EDID is gospel. New crops of these programmers seem to spring
up with great regularity.

Anyway, I've thwarted them all now - I've actually provided
an EDID that meets their expectations. Maybe they won't
discover any way to break that :-).

I would like to pose I hope a simple question. If you desire something different than the default computed from the EDID data, what can you do. Unix variants have always had a configuration file with preferences that allow one to override the default. I think you said you made your own EDID. Where did you put it so the system pays attention. When the Gnome display manager configures the monitor, where does it put that data? Where in the process is the EDID read. I do not use Gnome and am looking for a way to get back to the flexibility xorg.conf provided. When I tried to run X -configure it referred me to "Please consult the Fedora Project support at http://wiki.x.org"; web page that described the old xorg.conf setups. Fedora is becoming too opaque to be useful:-(
