Attached is a further 'xorg.conf' with the workaround included. Please give it a try. I added this section but it didn't make any difference. I have now fixed it though by adding a new monitor for VGA-1 and setting Ignore to true in xorg.conf.

Re: [vdr] FRC - RGB/Scart with the Intel 830 driver
In message lkpgcrborzpkf...@echelon.upsilon.org.uk, dave cunningham wrote Looking for some help again :( I've finally tried to get this up and running with the patched Intel xserver on a D945GCLF2 atom board (I see from your readme that you've tried this configuration so assume it should work). (Note I'm using MPlayer right now and not xine/vdr). The desktop's working just fine but I'm having problems with XV. When running in a window xv's fine however when I switch to full screen all I get is a blue screen + audio. I've done a lot of googling / messing with xserver options / xv overlay ports but I'm no further forward yet! An addendum... When running in non-interlaced mode with my normal monitor (1280*1024) rather than the TV xv works fine in full screen mode. (Incidentally I note the readme for the xserver says that the driver doesn't support interlaced mode though I guess that's what patch changed). -- Dave Cunningham dave at upsilon org uk PGP KEY ID: 0xA78636DC ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

Thomas Hilber wrote: snip The 1440x576i is driven at doubled dot clock. So it effectively represents a regular 720x576i PAL timing too. The reason for 1440x576i is: the FRC gains doubled horizontal timing resolution. As a result variable frame rate can be controlled in finer (twice as much) increments. Do standard CRTs handle this increased resolution/clock? I've never tried driving this signal into my TV. In fact I use the cable from here http://members.optusnet.com.au/eviltim/scart.htm with the cut off circuit so I'd actually have to build a new cable to use this resolution. Not that that's particularly difficult but do you gain any advantage using the higher resolution on the Intel cards vs standard 576i with ATI. If not then I'll probably just save the hassle and buy an ATI card of eBay instead. -- Dave Cunningham PGP KEY ID: 0xA78636DC ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
[vdr] FRC - RGB/Scart with the Intel 830 driver
Question for Thomas I guess... I'm in the process of setting up a PVR and just came across the FRC project which looks very interesting! One query I have though is the re. the restriction on the resolutions available. If I'm reading the patches correctly it seems that the ATI chips can currently do 720x576 only, where the Intel chips can be configured for 1440x576 and 1600x1200 only. The Intel driver has been patched to allow a 12MHz dot clock - is it in fact capable of supporting 720x576 interlaced? If so is there a hardware limitation preventing the FRC syncing working at this resolution? (I ask as I'm planning to use a Mini-ITX Atom board with a GMA950 to be hooked up to a standard-def TV. It would be good if I could use the onboard video and leave the PCI slot free.)
