Garbled screen during boot sequence and logout
I have a screen display issue since Ubuntu 16.04 and continuing in a fresh 18.4 LTS install. It is on one of our HTPCs running on an AMD A12 processor & 42" JVC LCD screen. The JVC is 3 years old. It is identified by the OS as 'DTV 32'.
I have placed a short video clip here to show what happens:
Is there anyway to force the display to the preferred setting 1080p @ 50Hz on boot and on a logout? Thanks |
UPDATE:
I should have mentioned it's the XFCE4 desktop and lightDM I managed to correct the screen on logout from this article: http://www.sudo-juice.com/lightdm-resolution/ Screen remains a mess during boot until the desktop loads |
Take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log's EDID Modeline entries. Do you see any there that say ...1080"x50.0 or ...1080i"x50.0? I'm not in AU, but nevertheless I expect you will not. The standard you are referring to is for telecasting, not for computer screens. You should be preferring a mode during conventional PC use that conforms to your LCD's preferences, and leave it to the video player and tuner apps to use @50Hz however and whenever they deem appropriate.

[ 18.067] (II) RADEON(0): Output HDMI-0 connected The issue of the messed up screen is only partially resolved, as it persist during boot after the grub menu and during the splash screen. When xfce4 activates the display settings force 1920x1080 @ 50Hz. Which brings me back to the original question; to configure/ control the display during the boot sequence or splash screen? |

GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x720 It has no effect on the display after the grub menu and before the desktop activation (XFCE4's Display Settings). |
