1080p replaced by 1080i

Good afternoon everybody,

My problem in a few words : my TV LG 55LW4500 is 1080p capable but Xorg
seems to use interlaced mode (1080i) .


More deeply, what I did to confirm the available resolutions :

root ~ # X :1 -verbose 6 > output.log 2>&1

root ~ # grep EDID output.log | grep "1920 x 1080"
(II) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select" : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080"          : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_60"       : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_60_0"     : 1920 x 1080 @ 59.94/60 Hz (CEA-861B
Format 16) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_50"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 50 Hz (CEA-861B Format
31) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_30"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97/30 Hz (CEA-861B
Format 34) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_25"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 25 Hz (CEA-861B Format
33) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_24"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 23.97/24 Hz (CEA-861B
Format 32) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_60i"      : 1920 x 1080 @ 59.94/60 Hz (CEA-861B
Format 5) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_50i"      : 1920 x 1080 @ 50 Hz Interlace
(CEA-861B Format 20) (from: EDID)

I do NOT want the display to be interlaced, so I skipped the interlaced
lines, getting this :

root ~ # grep EDID output.log | grep "1920 x 1080" | grep -vi interlace
(II) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select" : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080"          : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_60"       : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_60_0"     : 1920 x 1080 @ 59.94/60 Hz (CEA-861B
Format 16) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_50"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 50 Hz (CEA-861B Format
31) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_30"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97/30 Hz (CEA-861B
Format 34) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_25"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 25 Hz (CEA-861B Format
33) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_24"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 23.97/24 Hz (CEA-861B
Format 32) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_60i"      : 1920 x 1080 @ 59.94/60 Hz (CEA-861B
Format 5) (from: EDID)

Strange... the very last line dos not specify Interlaced but contains a
'i', meaning it. So, I skipped this one too.

We got this :

(II) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select" : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080"          : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_60"       : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_60_0"     : 1920 x 1080 @ 59.94/60 Hz (CEA-861B
Format 16) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_50"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 50 Hz (CEA-861B Format
31) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_30"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97/30 Hz (CEA-861B
Format 34) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_25"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 25 Hz (CEA-861B Format
33) (from: EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): "1920x1080_24"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 23.97/24 Hz (CEA-861B
Format 32) (from: EDID)

=> My understanding is that this list is the available NOT interlaced
resolutions.




I put them in my xorg.conf (section Screen => SubSection => Modes), adding
all available resolutions (not only 1920x1080)

Restarting ligthdm, Xorg log files said this :

=> We're back to an interlaced mode I did not define.


Any idea ?


Thanks in advance.
