Hello,
I have a Dell laptop, XPS M1330.
I had this problem with f12 originally but didn't go deeper with it.
Now I have updated the same system to f13 and experiment the same.
It has an hdmi-out connector and I'm trying to correctly configure it to
send audio/video to hdmi only.
The connection is to a Panasonic 37" TV.
Audio is ok.
For video, after reading the tv specs I set these relevant parts in
xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
Option "Xinerama" "0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor1"
VendorName "Panasonic"
ModelName "TX-L37G10E"
HorizSync 31.0 - 69.0
VertRefresh 59.0 - 86.0
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "GeForce 8400M GS"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-1"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor1"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP-1"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
It works and sends audio/video only to the tv, while the laptop display
remains black, but it seems that upper and lower rows of the screen are not
shown...
For example I don't see the top and bottom main bars.
xdpyinfo shows:
screen #0:
dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (650x366 millimeters)
resolution: 75x75 dots per inch
depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
root window id: 0x15a
depth of root window: 24 planes
so it seems correct

I know that I'm using proprietary nvidia module and the question would be
somehow offtopic, but probably it is not related (only) to the driver..
Anyway I could also try to use nouveau driver and see if the problem arises
with it too...
In the mean time any suggestion?
When X Windows System starts, the tv shows the label
WIDE
1080p
So it seems it accepts the 1920x1080 resolution.
BTW: on laptop
cat /proc/cmdline shows:
ro root=UUID=f829ca09-552e-46ce-85bd-779da1c90d17 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM

Thanks in advance,
Gianluca
