XORG setting for HDMI display

[rbhatia]

Hi,

Can someone please tell me the Xorg configuration setting for HDMI display? The board I am working on does not have a VGA port. It only has HDMI out. But the display is not appearing on the TV.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Rahul

HDMI is just a connector type, just like VGA or DVI. There's nothing special about it.

See xrandr(1).

You may need to turn on the TV and set it to the correct channel before turning on the PC.

Surely the digital signal that goes over an HDMI cable is not the same as the analogue signal over a VGA cable!

I have a monitor with an HDMI input and don't get a signal.

Well, yes. But X should treat the HDMI connector as just another one of the connectors on the video card. xrandr should show the connector and the current mode. (That may be different on Nvidia cards, I don't know.)

Which card and what version of FreeBSD? Please show the output of xrandr.
