Who has a HDMI monitor connected via DVI to HDMI dongle being detected incorrectly?

[spyre]

OK I would like a little help to save me hours / days of googling etc.

If anyone here is having a problem where their HDMI TV or Monitor is detected as DVI with the 8.12 drivers please give me the following details :

Graphics card make and model
BIOS version number of the card
Make and model number of the TV / Monitor
OS used
HDMI to HDMI or DVI to HDMI via standard dongle (delete as apropriate)

A copy of the EDID of the monitor would also be handy (there are various utils you can use for that, if you need one let me know)

Obviously I am just looking at cards and monitors using the official HDMI / DVI dongle along with a HDMI to HDMI cable (of standard length not a crazy 1000 foot one)

I will also accept HDMI to HDMI on cards that have a HDMI port

Not interested in HDMI audio issues either at the moment since thats covered in other threads

Also dont bother if you are using a DVI or HDMI switcher box I only want to know about direct card to TV / Monitor issues.

With enough samples I hope to be able to get the drivers to be much more compatible since the driver team can then put checks in place

i use the hdmi to dvi adapter with my x2 on a sony 52" sxrd tv, detects fine but overrides my lcd settings when using clone mode. Not sure if that helps u any

Im currently having this issue and will try and post the EDID info when I get home, it works properly under Vista however it is not functioning properly in Windows 7. It is being seen as a television, while with my nvidia card I can select a pc mode on my monitors osd which is not available in Vista nor 7 with my 4870 from Visiontek (it appears the monitor hides this setting).

Im using a Hannspree 25" Panel - exact model is HF259HPB

It loses the refresh rate for some reason under Windows 7, i.e. it drops back to 30 hz and the screen doesnt stretch i have a black frame around it. This happens after rebooting, and after playing a game when I return to my desktop.

Hmmm well Win7 is not a priority for me since its a beta OS with beta drivers. If it was XP or Vista I would be more interested.

I'm using a DVI -> HDMI adapter and connecting to my 22 in LCD Monitor via HDMI cable...about 8 feet in length.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for as this is my first LCD monitor with these features. But, in Vista 32-bit, using Cat 8.12, my connection is found under DTV (DVI) 3. See image below....

If this is what you're looking for, let me know and I'll post the other information you asked for.

Thanks Dyre Straits thats the sort of thing I need. I have already given some examples of monitors but the more the better since AMD/ATI dont own every single monitor under the sun unfortunately.

If you can get the EDID that would be great along with card make and model and BIOS version number.

@ xsvcd

Thats more of a workaround, and more useful for HDMI sound issues. I want purely HDMI monitors and TV's since certain features only currently work on HDMI displays (like the Overscan / underscan and the pixel format settings) If the monitor is detected as DVI you dont get those settings. I am also trying to get them available on DVI if possible so that it doesn't eventually matter too much if its detected as DVI or HDMI (appart HDMI sound reasons of course) as the features should then be available. Plus most of the people posting there are dealing with AMPs so the EDID's arent particularly useful in this circumstance.

I would rather people got an easier experience for the main things graphics cards are used for (ie displaying things on monitors / TV's) HDMI sound is a secondary consideration which is already being looked at within AMD/ATI.

I have this behavior in my ring, my DTV is detected as DVI: Sapphire HD 3870 (Single Slot, BIOS VER010.073.000.000.027243, Part Number 113-1E620A-000) + Iiyama ProLite E2403WS (using Iiyama's drivers) + Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits SP1 + Catalyst 8.12 + DVI to HDMI via standard dongle.

I don't know if it is a related issue but I have issues with 1920x1080 and GPU scaling doesn't work.

Thanks Dyre and Tony, much apreciated.

Firstly, I would like to apologise for reviving an old thread! But I had good reason to...

I have an Iiyama Prolite E2403WS, which I have recently tried to use the DVI-HDMI cable (from my 8800GTS 512... Yes, I know, its not AMD/ATI) again, after giving up on using it last summer. Since then, I have been using the VGA input of my monitor instead.

I have been reading so many stories about HDMI issues on all sorts of makes of monitor. Amongst it, I came across the EDID entry that can be added to the nv_disp.inf :-

"In the [nv_SoftwareDeviceSettings] section add the following:

HKR,, OverrideEdidFlags0, %REG_BINARY%, 1E,6D,3F,56,00,00,FF,FF,04,00,00,00,7E,01,00

The first 4 bytes (1E,6D,3F,56) in my OverrideEdidFlags0 are specific to the LG monitor I'm using. For other monitors, you will need to replace them. Using Phoenix EDID Designer, extract the current EDID and open up the byte viewer. The bytes are in byte 8 through 11."

This morning, I tried using bytes 8-11 (00,26,CD,04) from Tonyxp's raw data post above, with no joy. Admittedly, I have to make an educated guess about where to put the above edit, as [nv_SoftwareDeviceSettings] does not appear to exist in any drivers higher then 182.50.

I placed the edit in a section of the new 190.38 WHQL's nv_disp.inf in a section showing similar code lines to the original section talked about. Unfortunately, I was still restricted to 1024x768; 800x600; 480p (had to add final resolution, only HD res that would play ball).

I would appreciate if anyone can read through this novel and comment on it all, especially as regards to the four bytes I used
