We all bow to you oh great modeline master :-) Seriously though, I do
anyway.
I have been struggling with Modelines that I have found while searching
the web and the mail lists. I found an online mode calculator at
http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/faq/vga2rgb/calc.html. I also tried
the videogen tool from http://www.dynaweb.hu/opensource/videogen/. Most
of the information I gathered was from the Myth list, the Xfree86 video
timing howto
(http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree86-Video-Timings-HOWTO/index.html), and
the Linux HTPC howto
(http://www.sllug.org/how-to/linux-htpc/introduction.html).
I am real close on the modeline, I just can't fix the vertical size. I
am beginning to think my cheap Samsung just can't do a true 1080i. It
says HDTV 1080i Monitor right on the front of it too. Oh well, that's
what I get for cheaping out (although at $1700 2 years ago I wouldn't
call it inexpensive).
Thanks,
David
