Using the nvidia driver, it boots up with no output to the tv until X starts. Once X starts I get my kdm login screen. All is well except the resolution is 800x600 and I have no VTs. I suspect if I had a properly configured xorg.conf file, my resolution would be what I defined in it and work. Using the nouveau driver, I get nothing but "no signal" on the tv. Just like the the intel box, except no EDID messages in the log file. I've attached a dmesg outputs for each config. Back on the Intel machine. I boot up with a normal monitor connected to the DVI port of the PC. Then at the kdm login screen, I disconnect the DVI cable from the PC and connect the TV to the PCs DVI port using a DVI/HDMI adapter. I get a beautiful 1600x1200 resolution screen on the TV. This does not happen using the PC HDMI port. I have no control over the tv with regards to stand-by mode. Off is standby mode, on is on. >> [ 2.434378] i915 0000:00:02.0: HDMI-A-3: EDID block 0 invalid. >> [ 2.477539] checking generic (e0000000 3ff0000) vs hw (e0000000 10000000) >> [ 2.477541] fb: conflicting fb hw usage inteldrmfb vs VESA VGA - removing generic driver >> [ 2.477549] Console: switching to colour dummy device 80x25 >> [ 2.477831] fbcon: inteldrmfb (fb0) is primary device >> [ 2.637915] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48 >> [ 2.679625] fb0: inteldrmfb frame buffer device >> [ 2.679626] drm: registered panic notifier >> [ 2.691536] acpi device:4b: registered as cooling_device9 >> [ 2.691660] input: Video Bus as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A08:00/LNXVIDEO:00/input/input4 >> [ 2.691698] ACPI: Video Device [GFX0] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no) >> [ 2.691709] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 0 > >> geexbox:/home/mplayer # lspci >> 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor DRAM Controller (rev 09) >> ... >> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) >> ... > > Note, usually `lspci -nn` is more informative as it also provides vendor/device > IDs in addition to nice names. # lspci -nn 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor DRAM Controller [8086:0150] (rev 09) 00:01.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor PCI Express Root Port [8086:0151] (rev 09) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0162] (rev 09) 00:14.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host Controller [8086:1e31] (rev 04) 00:16.0 Communication controller [0780]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 [8086:1e3a] (rev 04) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82579V Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1503] (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 [8086:1e2d] (rev 04) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 [8086:1e10] (rev c4) 00:1c.7 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 8 [8086:1e1e] (rev c4) 00:1d.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 [8086:1e26] (rev 04) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Intel Corporation H77 Express Chipset LPC Controller [8086:1e4a] (rev 04) 00:1f.2 SATA controller [0106]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller [AHCI mode] [8086:1e02] (rev 04) 00:1f.3 SMBus [0c05]: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller [8086:1e22] (rev 04) 01:00.0 PCI bridge [0604]: PLX Technology, Inc.
