Resolution issues

[Gareth]

I've set disable_overscan=1 - I didn't realise this was a default option.

The UI and videos are a perfect fit with the video calibration showing (0,0) for the top-left and bottom-right arrows and I kept the TV settings as they were (full pixel, Auto Format=off and Screen Format=Normal). These TV settings are good for my SKY+ box too.

I don't understand how the calibration was so far off but I'd been changing the Video settings in XBian and config.txt a lot because of the EDID problem, restarting a lot and had some unavoidable non-clean shutdowns. I recall needing to change the calibration before but I can't remember why and have done quite a lot of messing around with different settings since then!

Regarding the EDID mod, I did try hdmi_force_hotplug=1 before configuring EDID from a file but didn't have any luck with that. It seems that the YSP soundbar gets into a state where it will only report a limited set of EDID settings. When it's in this state, plugging the Pi into the TV directly, rebooting and doing tvservice -m CEA shows the full list. Whereas plugging it into the soundbar and rebooting shows a different set with no 1080 settings.

Once again, everything seems to be working perfectly

Thanks,
Gareth
