I would like to know the correct Linux xorg.conf
modeline to use when
connecting an Athlon xp 1800 PC with a GeForce FX 5200
video card to an
RCA HDTV monitor (16:9 aspect ratio), model #D40W20.
I am using a DVI
cable to connect the two. When I use Jarrod's
xorg.conf at
http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/xorg.conf-HD.txt the output
is not distorted
(though with significant flickering). When I enter
these settings into Powerstrip, however, I don't get
any output to the HDTV after the Windows splashscreen.
This is the section of the file which is being
applied:
# My 960x540p mode
Mode "960x540p"
DotClock 37.26
HTimings 960 976 1008 1104
VTimings 540 542 548 563
Flags "+HSync" "+VSync"
This from the Amazon D40W20 product description:
RCA's 40-inch-diagonal D40W20 widescreen HDTV monitor
gives you a
smooth, filmlike image when used with a
progressive-scan DVD player (or
480p-output DTV set-top box). This projection set
includes the latest
connectivity: a DVI input with HDCP (High-bandwidth
Digital Content
Protection), which allows transmission of uncompressed
digital video
signals from an HDTV set-top box (not included) to the
D40W20.
Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the
number of horizontal
lines that compose the video image, creates a picture
using twice the
scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you
higher resolution
and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion
artifacts. Both
of the set's high-definition (1080i/480p)
component-video inputs
benefit from the Syncroscan system, which
automatically performs
high-resolution pixel mapping from sources up to SXGA
resolution.
Sorry for rambling on, but I would really appreciate
some guidance.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
