Sony TV gives "unsupported signal" (solved, I think)
Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 11:02 pm
When I use my fit-PC2i with my Sony TV via HDMI (the intended display and connection for the fit-PC2i), the Sony TV gives "unsupported signal".
More specifically, with the computer connected to the TV via HDMI, at power on of the computer the TV says "1024x768" and I see the Energy Star / Intel Atom advertising screen and then during boot the TV says "640x480" while the computer shows "Linux Mint 9 . . . ." but later on the TV screen goes blank and the "unsupported signal" message comes up on the TV screen.
(I did not succeed in logging in "blind", which might well have worked, but this is not a long term option anyway.)
When connected via the fit-VGA adapter to the Sony TV (on its VGA input) the whole startup and login process works fine.
