Thank you for this solution. I, like many others on here, have been driving myself crazy for several days trying to figure this out. Worked great, and now I can actually use my TV for what I bought it for.

Great work!

Moin Andreas,
thanks for the HowTo. It works with my Sony Bravia 40W4000 and GeForce 8400GS on Debian Squeeze/Sid. However I did not strip the edid.bin. I only had to edid the edid.bin (lol) as you mentioned. When I first tried to strip it down to 128 bytes, X did not start up.

Thank you so much! After searching for a fix for about a week, this was the ONLY thing that actually worked. I’m running Karmic and outputting to a Samsung HDTV, so this fix definitely works with other manufacturers.

Glad, you found the solution, because I had no idea at all.
Thank you very much for the link, too.

Never mind I figured it out, I just had to write DFP-1:/ instead of DFP-0:/ for my display.

I used a tool found here: http://analogbit.com/software/edid_disable_exts to modify my edid file so I can’t confirm that above method works on a similar setup to mine but I don’t see why not.

Tried the fix in Karmic, no Luck Same TV, NVIDIA GTX 275 graphics card. Works fine in XP (sound via the audio in port on the TV, haven’t tried getting it to work via HDMI) but when I boot to ubuntu I get nada. If I plug in headphones to the computer I can hear the sound so there’s nothing wrong there. I’m thoroughly confused.

Uh, you mean to install “hexedit”, not “hexedid”, right?

@Umut
Unfortunately I can’t help. I don’t know/have Vista neither I do have any other Windows system running here with an LCD-TV.
The only things I stumbled upon investigating this problem here, were also stories about troubles with Windows too. There seems afaik differences between Vista and XP regarding HDCP (Content scrambling), and something about licensing. In other words, it may depend on the software you are using to drive your TV set.

Please see the above statements as pure speculations.

I only hope a Windows reader, familiar with this issue, is able to help out.

Sorry.

Regards
Andreas
