Hello community,
I have been searching quite a lot about this issue before I decided to post in the forum, but haven't managed to get the slightest clue to explain it or resolve it.
I would really appreciate some light on how to troubleshoot this. I'm really hoping that this is some silly configuration I am missing.
The problem is that the only resolution where I can see the desktop on my TV via the HDMI port is 640x480. The TV feels when I change the resolution on the server, as it reports it in the on-screen-display, but the display remains black :(
Thanks a lot in advance!
My environment:
Hardware:
Motherboard - ASUS P8H77-M PRO
CPU Intel Core i3-3225 with integrated graphics HD4000.
Software:
Ubuntu server 12.04 (64-bit)
Some other details:
- This is a brand new installation and my ultimate goal is to get xbmc running together with other services.
- My Sharp TV supports 720p and 1080i HD resolutions and both vendor and resolutions are correctly detected by the operating system.
- Using VGA every resolution my tv supports is displayed perfectly.
- My TV displays perfectly other video output devices via HDMI (Unfortunately I do not have any other HDMI displays to check the behavior.)
- Via VNC I can see the HDMI output correctly in the secondary screen.
What I have done and hasn't made any difference whatsoever:
- I have installed the latest version of the Intel Linux drivers here - https://01.org/linuxgraphics/
- Changed the cable plugging order, disconnected VGA and connected HDMI only.
- Connected the TV via the DVI poprt using a DVI-HDMI converter.
Below are some outputs of commands that I saw were requested for display issues in forums and thought may help. Thanks a ton!!!
