Hi there,
I have a MythTV setup currently running with an NVidia FX 5200 that
pushes DVI to a 1680x1050 Acer LCD. I'm planning to get a 1080p HDTV.
I have a bunch of questions:
1. Is it possible to do 1080p without DVI-D? FX 5200 doesn't do DVI-D
(I think). Can I do 1080p over VGA?
2. Can I run an HDTV at 1680x1050? It took me some effort to coax
X.org into doing that resolution over DVI but I suspect that an HDTV
will be less forgiving of clocks and frequencies.
3. If nothing works, what is a good card to do 1920x1200 to an HDTV in
Linux? I assume it would require an DVI-D to HDMI cable.
Thanks,
Akshat
