It's the TV that's being snooty about showing the signal it receives. You could try forcing it to one of the lower modes in xorg.conf, like 1024x768. Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "TSB" ModelName "205" VertRefresh 59-72 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Modes "1024x768" EndSubSection EndSection The log shows that it gets this information from the monitor already, and is already trying to use the right resolution. Hard to say what the TV is doing. If it's touchy about refresh rate, that can be restricted to just a single rate: VertRefresh 60
