[mythtv-users] ATI Radeon 1080P 720P

[Robert Logan]

Heres mine - driving a Sony 46W2000 at 1080p.
Using the "ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)]"
as found in the Xorg.0.log file - its a cheap X300 PCIx card.
using the proprietary driver from ATi from roughly Nov 2006 - newer
versions exist. ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version Identifier: 8.29.6

Its generated, more or less totally, by the ati autoconfig, and I just
added the defresolution of my LCD panel as 'Modes   "1920x1080"' at the
bottom. Looks fantastic with mythtv, and the X300 is doing a ncie job of
upscaling SD, although for HD its not up to the job (lacks XVMC)
