Hello,

I have a myth box that worked great with my old analog TV. We bought a 37" TV a few months ago, and I still haven't figured out how to get my nvidia-legacy card to output the correct 1080p modeline. Since support for older cards was moved out of the nvidia driver package and into the nvidia-legacy package, they added modelines specific to ATSC, and other Hi-Def signal Modelines. I've tried explicitly specifying this modeline in my X config, but it always gets rejected and ends up using a 1024x768 mode, which looks terrible on a nice TV.

I'm ready to give up and say I need a new graphics card. If anyone else has any ideas on how to get an older nvidia card working with an hdtv, I'm all ears. I'm equally willing to take a PCI or AGP 4x/8x FX series nvidia card off your hands. If you have one laying around, and are willing to part with it, I'll consider that just as good of a solution as getting this older card working.

While I'm waiting for replies, I'll give the nouveau drivers a shot.

Thanks!


Jeff Anderson
