2 tests:

With the above modeline. X starts well, I can control the application
behind without any problem, but the TV shows nothing. It is even worse
than letting the driver do its selection, where you can see the TV
react, somehow, but with the modeline, it desn't move from the
screen-saving blue background.

Using a DVI "downgrade" does not change anything in the returned EDID
info, it is still as limited as it is using plain HDMI, but I had been
warned.



I am still wondering about the fact that the nvidia setup sees different
things from the Intel setup...
