ASUS nVidia not showing second monitor properly?
Hi guys,
I've recently changed my graphics card to the ASUS nVidia GeForce 210 and I'm having huge problems.
When I first installed the drivers for it, everything c**ked up. as it didn't have that nvidia-xconf thing. Fine, no biggy. So I reinstalled Ubuntu and tried again using a tutorial on the internet. This went OK. and it's now "working".
What isn't working however is that my second monitor is completely the wrong resolution to how it should be. I have a 15" screen at 1024x768 and a 19" HDTV monitor which should be at 1920x1080 but instead it's something like 800x600. Oh and the Displays app also says that the HDTV is 'Unknown'.
I've looked at a few threads and one said it could be the HDMI cable, but I know it isn't because after I read it I tried the cable in both my XBox and my parents laptop and it displayed fine.
Any idea's on what I could do?
A fewe details about my setup:
Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit
ASUS nVidia GeForce 210
Philips 15" Monitor (1024x768)
Technika 19" HDTV (supposed to be 1920x1080 but at the moment 800x600)
Thanks guys.

No one knows how I can solve this?

Hi Jamie_Edwards.
Could you tell us about the card's outputs, the cables you are using, and what inputs are plug in on the monitors?
Regards.
Re: ASUS nVidia not showing second monitor properly?
The card has three ports: VGA, HDMI and DVI-I to which I'm using the VGA and a DVI to HDMI adapter ( but I had a go at using the HDMI slot with the same result.

Thanks.
Could you please post the content of these files:
Code:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
Paste them separately here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/, and post back the links to them.
Regards.

Reading through the text I noticed this on line 640-641:
The EDID read for display device DFP-0 is invalid: [ 9954.350] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): unrecognized EDID Header.
That doesn't sound too good...
Re: ASUS nVidia not showing second monitor properly?
Code:
[ 32.231] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): The EDID read for display device DFP-0 is invalid:
[ 32.231] (WW) NVIDIA(GPU-0): unrecognized EDID Header.
[ 32.231] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0):
The card can't get the TV's internal timings (EDID).
I would try another TV input, and making sure the cable is well connected. Some TV manufactures publish that data, and it may be possible to get it into a file and hardcode it into your xorg.conf
What is your TV's brand and model?
Regards.

The model is Technika and the model is LCD19-218
Re: ASUS nVidia not showing second monitor properly?
OK, after finding a few other posts about this kind of issue ( with yourself helping ) I've managed to find a few things out...
It does seem to be a dead/corrupt EDID and after doing
Code:
sudo get-edid > filename
I got the following:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/5652329/
Then after doing
I got the following:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/5652333/
I also tried using that Phoenix EDID Editor but it threw a "Disk Full" error.
Finally I think that this:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/5652343/
Is the EDID for the HDTV ( which is also labeled as DFP-0 )
