[mythtv-users] refresh rates and hd

[Michael Wisniewski]

Thank you for the response!

I am having problems with getting my card working though.  Here's the
details...

I have a Sony 32XBR450 (1080i/480i/480p) input via component out from the
dongle on the video card (Nvidia GeForce 7300 card).

When I try to configure the xorg.conf file for "hd1080i" and startx,
everything looks good.  But then, if I go into some of the myth menus (IE:
setup menus/appearance), the horizontal lines flash and show up as double.
Then if I exit, the box pops up with myth regenerating the views.  The
vertical lines flicker extremely fast...kind of annoying.

Anyways, I have a strange feeling that this might be related to the
horizontal / vertical refresh rates, but not totally sure.  I currently
don't have any of this set in my xorg file.  I thought I read somewhere that
the latest nvidia driver (which is what I'm using from the nvidia web site)
automatically sets the refresh rates.

Well, if there's any ideas out there, please let me know!!!!


Thank you,
mike
