I'm currently using a VGA cable from a KVM to get 1360x768@60. The<br>
native resolution is 1366x768 but apparently Nvidia card need the<br>
resolution to be divisible by 8. I'm trying to get the DVI->HDMI cable<br>
working but I've run into a couple of issues.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>It is absolutely not true that the Nvidia card requires a resolution divisible by 8. I'm using one with my Vizio VX32L, and it's working fine at 1366x768 over VGA with the following in my xorg.conf file:<br>

I can get X/Nvidia to validate a mode for "1360x760_60" but the TV<br>
says there is no signal. If I change it to "1280x720_60" then it works<br>
fine. It seems strange that the driver thinks it's fine but the TV<br>
will not display a resolution that works fine over VGA. The only<br>
ValidationMode option I'm using is the "NoNativeWidthCheck" or<br>
something like that.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>A *lot* of TV's are like that. They expect TV resolutions on their HDMI ports. <br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I'd really like to take the crappy VGA cable out of the equation. Any Ideas?<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I'm not sure why you think VGA is crappy. It looks very nice on my TV.<br><br>I've never tried HDMI from the computer on mine, since the video card I'm using lacks a DVI output.<br><br>
