1080i Was: Re: [mythtv-users] Myth CVS + Alsa + S/PDIF

[James Armstrong]

It was just a generic $39 SIS 315 with 64Meg of ram. Just used a 
modeline I found for 1920x1080i and it worked out of the box without 
using the modified SIS driver I saw mentioned elsewhere. I plays video 
just fine. I went from 24 bit to 16 bit because the interface (graphics) 
were drawing a little sluggish. I was using the built in Intel Extreme2 
but could not get it to even load any modelines, like the driver was 
ignoring them. The Intel chip is supposed to do interlace, it was really 
fast, the screensaver would bounce around with no problems. With the SIS 
the screen saver would chug along slowly. I don't know if it is the ram 
size, or chip speed, driver or just because I went from 800x600 to 
1920x1080 and that is alot of mem to push around. I am thinking about 
getting the Xabre 400 based on the SIS chips. I just could not wait 
anymore for nvidia to fix the interlace in the driver.
