My current monitor (Acer X213H) works poorly with the BBB. It appears as if the BBB picks an incompatible refresh rate and/or resolution when it boots, as the screen looks like a CRT TV with HSYNC issues. I tried reading the EDID to get an idea of the problem, and the BBB was unable. However, out of the blue, I woke up this morning to find that the BBB picked a compatible resolution sometime overnight... I'd prefer it always pick a compatible resolution. :)
*(The BBB need not feel bad: The monitor also works poorly with the Raspberry Pi, though slightly less. I have been able to read the EDID on the Raspberry Pi, but must specify the following settings in boot.txt for the monitor to work at 1080P with the Raspberry Pi: "hdmi_force_hotplug=1", "hdmi_group=2", and "hdmi_mode=82".)* Perhaps it is time to buy a new monitor. My requirements are that the monitor must be 1080P, support HDCP (for the sake of my PC, not the BBB or RPi), and have an HDMI input along with wither a DVI-D or MiniDP input for my PC. And the HDMI input must work with the BBB [and the Raspberry Pi, but I realize that's out of the scope of this Group]... Or is there a way to get this monitor working with the BBB, much like I got it working with the Raspberry Pi? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
