<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Hello Guys,<br><br></span></div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">A recent upgrade to the latest nvidia long term driver rev 331.79 prompted a revisit to my xorg.conf as I noticed that certain features have disappeared . So I have ended up with a xorg.conf that has a bit of clutter which is no longer supported such as "flatpanelproperties" scaling . This opened a re-think of what other carry overs I have which do not fit into new driver or even myth 0.27 . Over the years I have been sticking things in that seemed a good idea at the time . I have a late model nvidia card and use VDPAU on Centos6 and use a Sony Bravia KDL46X3100 TV as a monitor via HDMI . So I would like ask a bit of advice from the more knowledgeable members on a few aspects :<br>
<br></span></div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">1) Colour space conversion : I am using</span> <span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">vdpaucolorspace=auto</span>
as part of my playback profile additional settings . Is this a good idea , should I use xorg.conf settigs of <span class=""><code class=""><span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">Option "ColorSpace"</span> <font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">and</span></font> </code></span><span class=""><code class=""><span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">Option "ColorRange"</span> <font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">instead or as well as</span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> .</span></font></code></span> Since I used <span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">scaling=native</span> , which no longer exists , I will remove it . Another feature available is <span style="font-family:courier new,monospace">dithering</span> , should it be enabled , if colour space conversion is used ?<br>
<br></div>2) Modelines . I use JYA modelines instead of EDID to make sure that timing is 100% spot on . I have the first line duplicated to overcome a bug in the Nvidia driver , which used to loose this line . Is that still the case with the latest driver, is it still needed ?<br>
</div> Anandtech mentions that Nvidia clocks 24p as 23.971 Hz instead of 23.976 Hz , some people have suggested a change to the modeline to force the clock up to 23.976 . Do you guys know what needs to be changed ? Would there be a need to use <span class=""><code class="">Option "ModeValidation"</code></span><br>
<br></div>Any input welcomed .<br><br></div>Best Regards<br></div>Milorad <br></div>
