Hi, 
            1. I cannot find any information on the 16:9 formatted displays for 1600:900 lcd displays.  The datasheet for the HDMI controller chip  TDA19988
 is very allusive  for some reason, got my hands on the TDA19983 data sheet though
             2. I did my calculations 1600x900x60Hz =86.4 Mhz just over the edge as regards the 85Mhz for hdmi audio. But I don't need audio. I just want to 
           drive the HDMI in "DVI' mode dropping the audio. There is a lot of chatter about theoretical possibility of     1920x1080 @ 60Hz, but no mention on how it's 
            accomplished  so I can use it as a guide

1920x1080@24 works fine. @60, well, that is not possible.

Hi,  Gerald,

I want 1600 x 900, how do I set the TDA19988  to accept this in 'DVI' mode only, no audio.
 

I don't want 1920x1080, I just pointed out that as an example :-)

Thanks
 
Nick

Nick,

To disable teh HDMI audio you would do that via uEnv.txt on the boot partition.

In the file you add . .

optargs=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMIN

This assumes you're using kernel version 3.8.x

The framer does not set the resolution. It is all a function of the kernel and the DRM interface..
