Things are getting strange.
I really don't know what went wrong. The xorg.conf seems correct, but I have it uploaded as you asked for it.

The latests findings:
- I cannot start the Xserver with 1920x1080_50i modeline when the TV is already waiting on the HDMI entry. (this definitely worked some days ago when I started/stopped close to infinite times to get my modeline composed.)
- When the TV is on another channel while the HTPC boots, it will boot into 1920x1080_50i. :confused2:
- The same does not work for my own 1824x1020_50i modeline at all, regardless of what the TV is doing when starting the Xserver. (and this f*ckin' modeline worked well.
- When the modeline does not work, the "nvidia-auto-select" modeline is chosen, which means 640x480px.
- Now, when the Xserver is started while TV waits on HDMI entry, the 640x480 is shown in 4/3 aspect ratio, with black bars left & right.
- And when the TV is on another channel while Xserver starts, the 640x480 is stretched to the full LCD area.


Why the hell are things now not working, when everything was perfect earlier?

Any hint is apreaciated....



Thanks, Marcus

I can't see anything wrong on first glance. One observation is that you don't have the option to disable twinview, without this the screen display options in xbmc will be wrong. Might be worth a try:

Option "TwinView" "false"

Just in case you havn't found this here's a link to the available options:

Usually the Xserver logs why it can't use a specific modeline. Can you post your Xorg.log again please.

Sorry that it took some time, but here we go.
Oh, btw: now, my 1920x1080_50i modelines does not work as well. It's becoming strange...

Case 1: 1824x1020_50i (fails, TV was already on, but on a different channel)

Case 2: 1920x1080_50i (fails, TV was already on, but on a different channel)

Case 3: 1920x1080_50i (fails, TV was off (standby, soft-off))

Again, switching modelines while TV stays on HDMI3 (init 3, <edit xorg.conf, init 5) worked all the time.
Now, I see a 2-3 seconds delay for GDM to come up (Xserver is probing modeline and calculating a 640x480px fallback).
