Hey Guys,
My TV just supports CRT and it doesn't auto negotiate the screen resolution. When I boot into Dharma Live RC2, the default screen resolution isn't supported by the TV and all I get is a blank screen. Is there anyway that I can set the screen resolution at boot? Or on the Dharma Live USB stick that I boot from?

Thanks

I have a similar issue. I've just installed Dharma on a Revo 3600 and set the screen to 720p which is optimum for my plasma display. It's working well but XBMC initially boots up in 1080i (presumably obtained by negotiation with the display) before switching back to 720p which looks very messy.

Is there any way of setting the XBMC boot screen res to be the same as the res it uses once it's booted up?

OK, fixed it quite simply.

I've just added Modes "1280x720_50" to my xorg.conf file forcing the Revo to only use 720p with a 50Hz refresh rate.

So the Screen section now reads:

Code:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    Option         "FlatPanelProperties" "Scaling = Native"
    Option         "DynamicTwinView" "False"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "NoLogo" "True"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1280x720_50"
    EndSubSection
EndSection
