[mythtvnz] Display problems after Amp & Mythbuntu upgrade

[cmacneill at snap.net.nz]

Hi David,

Thanks for that pointer, solved my problem, but the method in the link 
didn't quite work for me. The instructions on how to extract the EDID 
binary info failed despite it being visible in the logfile created. I 
found anoother way that is even simpler. The key bit of info was EDID 
itself, I'd never heard of this.

In the Desktop under Applications - Settings, there is an Nvidia X 
Settings App, one of the options in there is to export the EDID data, 
then you just follow the rest of the link to add the new lines in 
xorg.conf.

Regards

Chris Macneill
