[mythtv-users] NVidia, Sony and fun with Powerstrip

[Chris Trown]

      Greetings all!  I'm trying to get a suitable setup for my Core 3 
system.  I tried most of the modelines I found out there trying to get 
something working, to no end.  Hopefully someone can explain what is 
going on and point me in the right direction.

      First the setup.  The system is Core 3(Core 4 is just to unstable 
for my liking) on a 3.06GHz P4.  The Video card is a Rosewill 5200FX. 
The TV is a Sony KF-42WE610.

      Like I said earlier, running Xorg, I could not find a suitable 
xonfig that would produce a picture, so I went the Powerstrip route.

      I've been tinkering with Powerstrip for several hours now and 
regardless of which resolution I pick, the same thing happens, the edges 
of the screen get clipped off and no amount of adjusting with powerstrip 
will cure it.  In fact, if I move the image too far up or down, the 
monitor completely loses it's ability to display an image.  I can't move 
the image left or right at all.

      So I guess the questionis, Is the normal?  Has anyone gotten this 
combination of monitor and card to work?  I can't imagine I'm the first.

      Thanks!

Chris...
