Modeline Database

Database of standard modelines as well as user created modelines for specific HD Televisions.

Standard Modelines

An on-line modeline calculation tool is available at: http://www.tkk.fi/Misc/Electronics/faq/vga2rgb/calc.html.

NVIDIA Driver ModePool

The latest NVIDIA drivers of both the 9xxx and 8xxx series have a standard ModePool format that can be used to easily create a screen mode without the need of a modeline. For the best results you will want to make sure you have the proper HorizSync and VertRefresh values in your Monitor subsection.

The format is simple, HorizontalResolutionxVerticalResolution_frequency

So the following line in your Screen subsection for your TV,

    Modes      "1920x1080_60" "1280x720_60" "720x480_60"

would yield 1080p, 720p and 480p outputs

    Modes      "1920x1080_60i"

would yield 1080i output.

These should be compliant for DVI and component output on all TV's so its probably worth trying before playing around with EDID and custom modelines.

50hz vertical refresh

if you are using anything other than 60hz you will need to enable this. Add this option to the "Screen" section of your xorg.conf

Option "ModeValidation" "AllowNon60HzDFPModes"

ModeValidation

Some HDTV and monitors connected via VGA or DVI in which your able to receive EDID information may need to enable some options from the ModeValidation option, as you can see below. Be careful in using these, some may cause your TV/monitor problems, so use them sparingly! Figure out which options you absolutely need.

From the NVIDIA readme,

Option "ModeValidation" "string"

This option provides fine-grained control over each stage of the mode 
validation pipeline, disabling individual mode validation checks. This
option should only very rarely be used.

The option string is a semicolon-separated list of comma-separated lists
of mode validation arguments. Each list of mode validation arguments can
optionally be prepended with a display device name.

"<dpy-0>: <tok>, <tok>; <dpy-1>: <tok>, <tok>, <tok>; ..."

Possible arguments:

"AllowNon60HzDFPModes": some lower quality TMDS encoders are only rated 
to drive DFPs at 60Hz; the driver will determine when only 60Hz DFP modes 
are allowed. This argument disables this stage of the mode validation pipeline.

"NoMaxPClkCheck": each mode has a pixel clock; this pixel clock is validated 
against the maximum pixel clock of the hardware (for a DFP, this is the 
maximum pixel clock of the TMDS encoder, for a CRT, this is the maximum pixel 
clock of the DAC). This argument disables the maximum pixel clock checking 
stage of the mode validation pipeline.

"NoEdidMaxPClkCheck": a display device's EDID can specify the maximum pixel 
clock that the display device supports; a mode's pixel clock is validated 
against this pixel clock maximum. This argument disables this stage of the mode 
validation pipeline.

"AllowInterlacedModes": interlaced modes are not supported on all NVIDIA GPUs; 
the driver will discard interlaced modes on GPUs where interlaced modes are 
not supported; this argument disables this stage of the mode validation pipeline.

"NoMaxSizeCheck": each NVIDIA GPU has a maximum resolution that it can drive; 
this argument disables this stage of the mode validation pipeline.

"NoHorizSyncCheck": a mode's horizontal sync is validated against the range 
of valid horizontal sync values; this argument disables this stage of the mode 
validation pipeline.

"NoVertRefreshCheck": a mode's vertical refresh rate is validated against the
range of valid vertical refresh rate values; this argument disables this stage 
of the mode validation pipeline.

"NoWidthAlignmentCheck": the alignment of a mode's visible width is validated 
against the capabilities of the GPU; normally, a mode's visible width must be 
a multiple of 8. This argument disables this stage of the mode validation pipeline.

"NoDFPNativeResolutionCheck": when validating for a DFP, a mode's size is 
validated against the native resolution of the DFP; this argument disables this 
stage of the mode validation pipeline.

"NoVirtualSizeCheck": if the X configuration file requests a specific virtual 
screen size, a mode cannot be larger than that virtual size; this argument disables 
this stage of the mode validation pipeline.

"NoVesaModes": when constructing the mode pool for a display device, the X driver 
uses a built-in list of VESA modes as one of the mode sources; this argument 
disables use of these built-in VESA modes.

"NoEdidModes": when constructing the mode pool for a display device, the X driver 
uses any modes listed in the display device's EDID as one of the mode sources; 
this argument disables use of EDID-specified modes.

"NoXServerModes": when constructing the mode pool for a display device, the X 
driver uses the built-in modes provided by the core XFree86/Xorg X server as one 
of the mode sources; this argument disables use of these modes. Note that this 
argument does not disable custom ModeLines specified in the X config file; see 
the "NoCustomModes" argument for that.

"NoCustomModes": when constructing the mode pool for a display device, the X 
driver uses custom ModeLines specified in the X config file (through the "Mode" 
or "ModeLine" entries in the Monitor Section) as one of the mode sources; this 
argument disables use of these modes.

"NoPredefinedModes": when constructing the mode pool for a display device, the
X driver uses additional modes predefined by the NVIDIA X driver; this argument
disables use of these modes.

"NoUserModes": additional modes can be added to the mode pool dynamically, using
the NV-CONTROL X extension; this argument prohibits user-specified modes via the
NV-CONTROL X extension.

Note: all PAL 625 broadcast equipment using a 13.5 MHz reference frequency sets the image aspect ratio of 704x576 to 1.33=4/3 and of 720x576 to 1.3636=15/11. This ensures compatibility with analog TV's which expect 702x575 at a ratio of 4/3. Video monitors can display the whole image, including the extra dots on the left and right, by depressing the underscan switch. Analog broadcast cameras typically output a 14.75 MHz square dot resolution of 786x581 from a 816x606 CCD frame.

Acer AT4220B / AT3720B / AT3220B / AT2720B

These screens supports 1366x768 on both the VGA input and HDMI input but the EDID data does not do this correctly. (using xorg 7.2) I have the 37" version, but I guess the electronics is the same in the whole range. Native resolution is 1366x768. Running the screen at 1368x768 will result in a little line running up the image from time to time. 1360x768 is much better, but scene changes flicker a bit some times. My 7100 nvidia card can't do the 1366x768 resolution and I'm guessing that would fix the issue.

The monitor sends back an inaccurate maximum DFP size, making it necessary to disable the native resolution check.

NOTE: This TV requires that you manually select a 1360x768 input signal through the on-screen menu. See your TV's manual for details.

Using the nvidia binary drivers version 9746. Outputting 1920x1080 over DVI to the display. Graphics card is a GeForce 6600 with 256MB of VRAM.

This is the same modeline as the Vizio GV47L and I got it from this wiki. So thanks to the person who put it there.

I had to disable native resolution check because the EDID information returned by the display was reporting a max resolution of "1280x1024". Here is the Monitor section:

## A good summary of the issue here - http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=69255
## This mode is a 1216*684@60Hz mode that I came up with through trial and error.
## Exactly what switches you pass for DPI and other checks may vary from what I have.
##
## NB: the vast array of ModeValidation arguments have arisen today since moving to 9629 
## driver release of the last few days. Tweak according to what is needed to validate the 
## mode by your driver version.

[EDIT]According to Nvidia, the latest drivers can accept resolutions of odd sizes, and are not limited by the "divide by 8" limitation any longer. Hopefully, with this limitation removed, this (and other) entries might get updated to provide native resolutions (768p (1366x768)) that these Plasmas have.

nVidia Release

## Plasma panel has a native res of 1366*768 but the 9xxx series of nVidia drivers only
## accept resolutions which divide by 8. So the nearest I got was 1280 x 768. No EDID is 
## passed through the PC connection to the TV - to get EDID I believe you need to connect
## via HDMI. You can find out what the valid resolutions, HorizSync and VertRefresh settings 
## are by looking in the TV manual (p39) or at 
## http://panasonic.com.au/products/specifications.cfm?objectID=3406
## HorizSync range is 31.46 - 68.38 and the VertRefresh range is 60-85.

## This TV has a decent screen for the cost, but VGA and DVI input is
## problematic, since it reports a mode of 1280x1024 in EDID, though the native
## resolution is 1366x768, something which I wanted to take advantage of to display
## 1080i with maximum detail. After much trial and error I found several modelines
## that work when it's connected to my Radeon 8500 via DVI; I didn't have as much
## luck connected to an Nvidia card, with Windows and X. The TV doesn't seem to have
## a way to disable scaling, so even with a mode of 1360x768 or 1366x768, pixels
## don't line up perfectly. It seems close enough for video, if not for
## desktop use. It also doesn't recognize image sizes larger than 1280x1024, so I had 
## tweak those modes carefully with xvidtune to get the image centered. I use 
## 'Option "IgnoreEDID" "true"' in the Screen section.
