Hi Daniel, would you agree that these are two separate bugs? I'd like the Intel driver to both: - allow me to use 1920x1080i - allow me to use 1024x768p without reverting to nomodeset If I want to see a video where a progressive resolution brings better results than an interlaced resolution (despite the less pixels) I'd like to be able to. Right now, with nomodeset I can only play video using VLC which has its own hardware acceleration. With the embedded xbmc player I can't watch any video. Will a proper way to see 1024x768 be added? kernel 3.0.0-12.20 (Ubuntu 11.10) was working fine with the i3 550. Should I file a former bug? thank you, alfonso > > Your TV likely sends a CEA block with some HDMI default modes set.
