I'm facing problems with HDMI output to my TV (Ölevia HD-TV). When I connect HDMI cable computer / tv I can see the detect each other, and on display configuration I can see the other display, but for some reason it doesn't work. On TV I can see the message "Invalid Format".

lspci |grep VGA

  • Could you include some details (link perhaps) on the "Ölevia HD-TV"? The TV may report a corrupt EDID or one with slightly out of the ordinary modes. With the exact model no/type we might be able to find more relevant clues.

  • Model: Olevia 232-T12, but I'm able to connect HDMI when on windows, due this reason I think the problem lies on UBUNTU configuration.

  • Googling for "Olevia 232-T12" lists all sorts of HDMI issues, from XBox to PCs to media players. Google also directly suggest a firmware upgrade. Did you try that?
