Get a good sleep.":O}

Can you also run

ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

If there's not already a file called 20-nvidia.conf in there, then download the attached, and:

tar -xzf 20-nvidia.conf.tar.gz
sudo cp 20-nvidia.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

At that point, in theory, you should be able to put your cables back computer to AVR, AVR to TV and reboot, and it should work. Or might not. Anyway... let me know.

Get some rest I'm in good shape until the morrow. I downloaded the file first

 

[Kaitain]

OK, also download the file from post #162 and follow the instructions to extract and copy that file:

ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

If there's not already a file called 20-nvidia.conf in there, then download the attached, and:

tar -xzf 20-nvidia.conf.tar.gz
sudo cp 20-nvidia.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/.

If there IS already a file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf then

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf

and paste the output.

Also:

sudo cp /home/daniel/Hisence\ Bin/edid.bin /etc/X11/.

We might need it later.

 

[cloasters]

Thank you very much Kaitain! You really work to help we less than masterful with Linux folks!!

 

[Daniel~]

I followed what I thought you wanted but am not getting the results expected. I offer these to show what I have done and the response.

To be honest I'm a bit lost here.

 

[Daniel~]

In the meantime...

I switched HDMI 1 to my roku last night. All my troubles with UHD went away. So it's definitely the receiver in the loop that prevents proper recondition of the 2.2 cable standard. With the receiver in the loop Roku fails every thing above 1080. It then lets me force it, but that only gives me 1080

Is why I was asking about the lip sync problem when using the hisence as switcher.

 

[Kaitain]

I'm not going to be too much use tonight, shattered and taking an early night. Can I see

ls /etc/X11

 

[Daniel~]

Not to worry K. You've been more than generous with you time.

Ok, let me see

cat /etc/xorg.conf

We're on the home straight, as soon as I work out where your X settings are hidden

Perhaps in sleep it will come to you.":O}

Sorry,

No problem, we kept you up past your bedtime.":O|

[Daniel~]

What time are you most available for this...I think we may have missed each other this go around?
Now 10 15 my time, it's dark out so I'm guessing night time.

 

[Kaitain]

OK, next:

Download the attached file to /home/daniel/Downloads/.
tar -xzf xorg.conf.tar.gz

sudo su
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20190724.backup
cp /home/daniel/Downloads/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf

At this point, you should be able to reboot and confirm that you still get a screen - you should do, as you're just using the HiSense EDID as read by your gfx card anyway. If you still get a screen and it's still 4096x2160 @ 60Hz then go ahead and put your wiring back through your AVR:

Computer to AVR port 5 (game). AVR HDMI Out to TV HDMI-1

Then reboot again and let me know what your results are.

 

[Daniel~]

Where did I go wrong?

daniel@daniel-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for daniel:
Sorry, try again.
[sudo] password for daniel:
root@daniel-System-Product-Name:/home/daniel# cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20190724.backup

cp: cannot stat '/home/daniel/Downloads/xorg.conf': No such file or directory
root@daniel-System-Product-Name:/home/daniel#
root@daniel-System-Product-Name:/home/daniel#

I have ended up with several copies, do I need them, does mint need them thinned?

 

[Daniel~]

ok I have gotten a good reboot, everything looks good., putting reciver back into the loop.

 

[Daniel~]

Receiver back in the loop.

Everything went to shit my friend. Computer boots to a green screen. I'm use to that occasionally, but it's not straightening out by the time it reaches my computer screen, now it stays green. REz back to 1920X1080

Roku has gone back to failing everything above 1080, I have to force it again.it says it fails to pass 2.2, yet it does pass when only the Roku is connected.

All this goes away when using the TV as the switcher. BUT when using the TV I could not get sound to sync

I'm just looking for the easiest way to go. entirerly up to you K.
You have to do thre brain work here ":O}

 

[Daniel~]

PS still no sound. I'm beginning to think this is not a match made in heaven":O}
PS I'm certain I choose binary for the EDID, but can't check as it's now Denon rather than Hi sense.
As switching inputs returns the Green, it 's probably not the loose input plug.
