What should I try to get HDMI working?, sam

The problem is that only a very few (two) mode lines are supported;  this really comes down to having the right monitor.   720p60  or  1080p60

You may also be able to use a 1366x768  Samsung  (vga | dvi) by using the hdmi-->vga adapter from the pine store (active interface) ;   I have one of these setups working .   My other two setups both use a modern  1920x1080p60  LG  LED monitor ;  I also have a Samsung  1920x1080p60 monitor that works very  well. 

If you have an older monitor you're going to have trouble.
