We've recently upgraded our TV to our first real flat panel. I've just noticed in the xbmc GUI the resolution is only 1280x720 (and the TV says the same thing). I was sure when I first set the new TV up the res was 1920x1080.
The old TV definitely had 1920x1080 in the xbmc GUI.
I have read this post cover to cover and countless other posts trying to get 1920x1080 resolution from xbmc - without success. The script offered in this post actually works for my system and the xorg.conf was updated
Here is the original xorg.conf
And the updated one which reflects the EDID info.
I have rebooted countless times and the xbmc GUI still only shows 1280x720
If I switch sources to my TIVO, I get the TV displaying [email protected] I know the TV handles the correct resolution.
Can someone tell my how I can get the xbmc GUI to display 1920x1080?? Am I missing something?
AND ONE FURTHER QUESTION: I live in New Zealand. Our format is PAL. Should I be running at 50Hz or 60 Hz? (I have only SD content, both 576PAL and 480NTSC. What fps/refresh rates to I need to run these formats correctly.
I am running Live Dharma 10.0 - nividia drivers shown at top of first xorg.conf.
Much appreciated.
