ION - No valid modes for 24Hz xorg.conf
#1
I have a Sony XBR4 hooked-up via an ONKYO SR705 with HDMI

Video and Audio working great in 1080p 60HZ. I just cannot get a proper Modeline for the 24Hz refresh mode.

I get the following error in Xorg.0.log:

Code:
(II) NVIDIA(0): Mode Validation Overrides for ONK TX-SR705 (DFP-1):

(WW) NVIDIA(0): The EDID for ONK TX-SR705 (DFP-1) contradicts itself: mode

my Modeline in xorg.conf are:

Code:
ModeLine "1920x1080x24" 74.16 1920 2558 2602 2750 1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync
    Modeline "1920x1080_24" 63.00 1920 1976 2160 2400 1080 1083 1088 1098 -hsync +vsync    
    Option         "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "TRUE"
    Option         "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes"

When I run xrandr and cvt I get:

Code:
xbmc@xbmc-desktop:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080

   1920x1080      60.0*
   1024x768       60.0  
   1680x1050      60.0  
   1440x900       60.0  
   1400x1050      60.0  
   1360x768       60.0  
   1280x1024      60.0  
   1280x960       60.0  
   1152x864       60.0  
   960x540        60.0  
   840x525        60.0  
   800x600        60.0  
   720x450        60.0  
   700x525        60.0  
   680x384        60.0  
   640x480        60.0  
   512x384        60.0  
   320x240        60.0  
xbmc@xbmc-desktop:~$ cvt 1920 1080 24
# 1920x1080 23.91 Hz (CVT) hsync: 26.25 kHz; pclk: 63.00 MHz
Modeline "1920x1080_24.00"   63.00  1920 1976 2160 2400  1080 1083 1088 1098 -hsync +vsync

So the system sees a valid 24Hz mode

The second 24Hz mode I got from the EDID. Both get rejected. I see the error message about the vertical refresh being only 58-62 but it says it is being ignored. I have tried to change the vertical sync to 23-62 with no luck. The 24Hz is declared to be valid by the nvidia driver in the EDID.

Tried googling and XBMC forum search but no luck! Find comments like using Option "UseEDIDFreqs" "False" but again no luck.


I am running out of idea of what to try. Has anyone got around this problem before?

I have exactly the same problem with my Sony KDL-46HX800 running XBMC on ATV/Ubuntu. I've done all the things you've done with no success. I find it contradictory that the TV is advertised as 24p (which it is, works with a 24p bluray player) but lists only a 58 - 62 Hz refresh. I've read that Sony supports more freq setting than they reveal in EDID, but I can't find one that works.
