On a high level, I am trying to make a mac mini intel display 1920x1080 over DVI. <div class="gmail_quote"> Using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, xorg-video-intel driver, hdmi->dvi cable to 1080 projector. The projector (pt-ae2000u) gives invalid EDID readings, at completely wrong resolutions, this is a known issue. The intel driver (apparently) refuses to use my modeline, resorting either to a default resolution or the EDID resolutions. You can see how the EDID comes back invalid: (II) intel(0): Printing probed modes for output TMDS-1 (II) intel(0): Modeline "1920x540"x120.1 74.25 1920 2008 2052 2200 540 542 547 562 interlace +hsync $ (II) intel(0): Modeline "1920x540"x100.1 74.25 1920 2448 2492 2640 540 542 547 562 interlace +hsync $ Of course 540 is not the correct vertical resolution, altho the intel driver starts X up at this resolution (I can log in via VNC) xorg.conf sections look like this, you can see i'm trying 720 or 1080, no mention of either of them in xorg.0.log: Section "Monitor" Identifier "dvi" Vendorname "Panasonic" Modelname "PT-AE2000" modeline "1280x720@50" 60.47 1280 1328 1456 1632 720 721 724 741 -hsync +vsync Modeline "1920x1080" 148.5 1920 1960 2016 2200 1080 1082 1088 1125 -hsync +vsync Gamma 1.0 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 0" Device "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controlle$ Monitor "dvi" Defaultdepth 24 Option "SecurityTypes" "VncAuth" Option "UserPasswdVerifier" "VncAuth" Option "PasswordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Virtual 1920 1080 Modes "1920x1080" "1280x720@50" EndSubSection EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" screen 0 "Screen 0" 0 0 Inputdevice "Generic Keyboard" Inputdevice "Configured Mouse" Inputdevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" Inputdevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" Inputdevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection Thank you in advance! I intended to figure this out and blog about it for other users, but after a week I still have no solution. </div>
