I have been an XBMC Live user for a couple of years, and I absolutely love it. I recently updated to XBMCbuntu version of Eden, and I was totally impressed. So impressed, that I convinced my friend to convert from a Windows XP/Dharma setup to the Eden version XBMCbuntu. After a few tweaks, his setup was up and running, with one major glitch. When he uses an HDMI cable (or a DVI to HDMI cable) to connect to his TV, he is limited to 720p. The operating system does not even give you the option of resolutions higher than 1280X720. When he uses an old VGA cable, we can get XBMCbuntu to output to 1920X1080. On his XP/Dharma set-up, he was able to get 1080p to his TV with the HDMI cable. Here are his system specs:
Althon X2 265 proc
4gb RAM
nVidia 520 with 1gb VRAM
I am at a loss as to how to fix this issue. Could there be a problem with his xorg.conf? If so, how can I correct it? Is their a way to force the required 1920X1080 resolution? I am still a Linux "abuser" but not afraid of the command line. If more information is needed, I will be happy to provide it. Thank you in advance for any and all help.
