Hello,

I have a very odd problem with my new TV.
I only get an output to it, when runnig xine or vdr-sxfe, which is a 
xine based frontend to VDR.
As soon, as I stop xine, the TV shows "LG, No Signal".
I can start nvidia-settings then, but it does not show up. Still I get 
"LG, No Signal". Only, when I don't stop xine, and start nvidia-settings 
(or any other X application) on top of xine, I see the application.

This is odd already. But it get's better. The output of xrandr does not 
change between the two (working/not working) states:
  xrandr --verbose

The problem does not occur, when I use VGA instead of HDMI. The xrandr 
output:
  xrandr --verbose
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 1920 x 1080

         h: width  1920 start    0 end    0 total 1920 skew    0 clock

         v: height 1080 start    0 end    0 total 1080           clock 
  60.0Hz

My setup:
The Mainboard is a Asus M3n78-EM. The GPU is a Nvidia 8300.
It does not matter, whether I use vdpau or not for the xine output.
The xorg.conf, that I use can be found here:

Attached a log with logverbose 6.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Greetings,
Hendrik
