Monitor detection

[josch.hhKey Master]

I realized that GeeXboX often starts with the wrong monitor configuration (resolution, … whatever) when i turn the GeeXboX-PC on BEFORE i turn on my AV Receiver and the TV. (PC is connected vi HDMI to Yamaha AV-receiver and the AV-receiver via HDMI to the TV)

Results sometimes in a error message from the TV, that the video format is invalid or in rare cases after the blue grub start menu i get complains from GeeXboX about the unknow/invalid/… “framebuffer” (can not repeat the error message now).

Any chance to get rid of this. Because this is a no go concerning the WAF

WAF ?
i’m unable to reproduce this : (cec module ?)
did you try to setup resolution in system ?
another solution use a custom edid file for xorg
or manually setup resolution for xorg

WAF = Woman Acceptance Factor (in this case: my wife)

I have no CEC modul.
I have not set the resolution by hand, it was detected automatically.
You think i could extract mybe the EDID values of my TV and put same as default in xorg.
Can you tell me how?

lol
didn’t know this expression
For me, xbmc always restart at 720p (but my tv can do 1080p)
I set this in xbmc, i think there is no need of a custom edid or xorg.conf, Can you test ?
extract edid is quite easy for nvidia card, don’t know for other
