Re: [Freevo-users] resolution while playing
Hugo, You might want to add a modeline in xorg.conf like ModeLine 768x576 50.00 768 832 846 1000 576 590 595 630 in the Monitor section to see if the nvidia driver picks that up. And as an aspect helper for xine you may add the line # Set for 4:3 display DisplaySize 300 225 for standard definitions. Again you put these line in the monitor section /Robert On Sunday, September 23, 2007, 4:29:52 PM, Hugo wrote: Hello all, I've been poking around with freevo for the last days for the first time and i have to say that i'm impressed with all the possibilities.

Again you put these line in the monitor section This may depend a bit on how and what the nvidia card it is connected to. If it is connected to a TV then try 720x576 as 768/720 = 1.0333. which is the width of a PAL TV pixel. IIRC NTSC has a slightly different ratio (see http://www.strata.com/support/3dmanual/ch13/ch13_7.html) On Sunday, September 23, 2007, 4:29:52 PM, Hugo wrote: My first approach was to launch freevo from gdm and i already had everything working in this setup.
