I have got my tv out display working pretty well, but it still has an odd problem that I cannot solve.
When I am in the window manager (evilWM) or Myth the display has a pin cushion effect, which I expect is because I have a 10 year old analog TV. However, what I am concerned about is that when I am using just the window manager, about a minute after X starts, the display begins to have large blobs on the screen and it will lock up. It looks like the screen is being burnt which is obviously no good. I have tried different resolutions and other settings, but the problem persists. I have not been able to find out any specs on my TV. It is a 27 Magnavox TX2753 C202 so I have just been using the standard ones. Here is my xorg.conf. Anyone have any tips?
