I've already use that option but nothing changed, infact Xorg work fine
whitout the "IgnoreEDID" with vesa or nv drivers

The pc is a 2,4gz sempron with 512mb ddr , 80gb HDD and a geforce4.... i
think it's could be a nice divx player with a tv-out

I've try several combo of these option... tring to force X to believe that a
monitor is connected or tho force the TV as a monitor....
