Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Apparently the Pi does not support 1440x900 out of the box. Adding the following lines to the Pi's Config.txt file fixed it!
hdmi_cvt=1440 900 60 5 0 0 0
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
config_hdmi_boost=7
After further reading I am wondering if this is a EDID issue. The native resolution of the LCD is 1440x900. Maybe the Fire TV and the current Raspberry Pi config doesn't support this resolution but the MacBook does so the handshake succeeds?
I modded an iMac G4 to use as a HDMI display. This is fairly well documented however not a lot of people are doing this today. This connection uses TMDS so it can be re-wired directly to HDMI or DVI. I have done the modification but now I am seeing either a perfect image or total garbage...
