Ah, again, thank you very much for the response.<br><br>Unfortunately, my TV doesn't support 720p. Just 480i/p or 1080i. :-( <br><br>Besides going cross-eyed, can there be any damage that is done to the set when it does this? That is really my main worry because everything I read about video out, it says that you should use caution. I smoked (literally) a monitor once and would hate to do it again with my TV.
<br><br>I know this may be a little OT, but how do you know if you're going to ruin your tv/monitor? Does the picture look funny? I always read the warnings, but they don't say what to look for.<br><br><br>Thanks!<br><br>

<br>> details...<br>><br>> I have a Sony 32XBR450 (1080i/480i/480p) input via component out from the<br>> dongle on the video card (Nvidia GeForce 7300 card).<br>><br>> When I try to configure the xorg.conf
file for "hd1080i" and startx,<br>> everything looks good. But then, if I go into some of the myth menus (IE:<br>> setup menus/appearance), the horizontal lines flash and show up as double.<br>> Then if I exit, the box pops up with myth regenerating the views. The
<br>> vertical lines flicker extremely fast...kind of annoying.<br>><br>> Anyways, I have a strange feeling that this might be related to the<br>> horizontal / vertical refresh rates, but not totally sure. I currently
<br>> don't have any of this set in my xorg file. I thought I read somewhere that<br>> the latest nvidia driver (which is what I'm using from the nvidia web site)<br>> automatically sets the refresh rates.<br>>
<br>> Well, if there's any ideas out there, please let me know!!!!<br><br>thats more or less normal with 1080i output over component video for<br>computers. I was getting the same interlace flickering using component<br>
to my 1080i tube HDTV as well. It has to do with the progressive to<br>interlace conversion. You may want to run your GUI at 720p and then<br>have Myth switch the video output to match the source material, which<br>is what I did with mine.
<br><br>also, everytime you go into the Appearances menu mythfrontend will<br>reload the video output stuff like you saw.<br><br>--<br>Steve<br>Before you ask, read the FAQ!<br><a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions">
