My TV will do 1080i and 720p, so I wouldn't necessarily want to force it one way or the other.
<br><br>If your TV is native 1080i output at 1080i if its native at 720p<br>output at 720p. I don't think XRandR works with TV-out, only monitor<br>out, so you might want to try connecting to your TV via the DVI cable.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>I would love to know the answer for that as well. I have a 4:3 HDTV that accepts 1080i or 480i. (It does not accept 720p so I don't mind outputting those shows as 1080i). I do need to figure out how to switch it to 480i for SDTV shows so that they fill the whole screen. I think it is possible if I look at Jarod's
xorg.conf that uses different modelines for different modes. <br><br><a href="http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/xorg.conf-HD.txt">http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/xorg.conf-HD.txt</a><br><br>I haven't experimented with that yet. Of course, he isn't using the tvstandard "hd1080i" in this xorg that I am so it may be a bit more difficult than I realize. Hopefully, I'll get a chance to try that this weekend. If I learn anything, I'll post it here.
<br><br>My TV only has component so DVI isn't an option. (I assume that
most of us that are using the 6200/6600 component out are in that
situation). <br><br>Steve<br>
