People did that before... Ok I finally got this device today: http://mythic.tv/product_info.php?products_id=30 I'm using the modeline from this link: http://www.sput.nl/hardware/tv-x.html and my xorg.conf looks like this: Section "Monitor" Identifier "monitor1" Modeline "736x485i" 14.16 736 760 824 904 485 491 496 525 interlace -hsync -vsync EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "device1" Driver "i810" VideoRam 4096 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "screen1" Device "device1" Monitor "monitor1" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "layout1" Screen "screen1" InputDevice "mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection When I try to open an xfce4 desktop like this, the image is somewhat scrambled and constantly rolls on the TV. It looks normal on a monitor with the same settings. /var/log/Xorg.0.log reports this: (II) I810(0): monitor1: Using default hsync range of 28.00-33.00 kHz (II) I810(0): monitor1: Using default vrefresh range of 43.00-72.00 Hz (II) I810(0): Clock range: 9.50 to 163.00 MHz (II) I810(0): Not using mode "736x485i" (unknown reason) (II) I810(0): Not using default mode "640x350" (hsync out of range) (II) I810(0): Not using default mode "320x175" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan) It continues through a long list of "Not using" resolutions, and then: (--) I810(0): Virtual size is 640x480 (pitch 640) (**) I810(0): *Default mode "640x480": 25.2 MHz, 31.5 kHz, 60.0 Hz (II) I810(0): Modeline "640x480" 25.20 640 656 752 800 480 490 492 525 -hsync -vsync I've tried the 640x480i modeline from the above link with the same results. What do you guys think? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
