dinozzo Wrote:Hi. Im a little confused. I have followed the manual guide and when playing an mkv and bringing up the info pane it shows the video as 23.97 fps but the refresh rate is 24Hz. Shouldnt the refresh rate be 23.97 too so that its perfectly in sync and eliminate tearing? It seems odd the the modeline has 23.97/24 Hz and not solely 23.97. How can it tell which one to use? it uses 24hz everytime?

My available modes look like this from my Samsung TV

# --- Modes in ModePool for SAMSUNG (DFP-1) ---
# "nvidia-auto-select" : 1920 x 1080 @ 60.0 Hz
# "1920x1080" : 1920 x 1080 @ 60.0 Hz
# "1920x1080_60" : 1920 x 1080 @ 60.0 Hz
# "1920x1080_60_0" : 1920 x 1080 @ 59.94/60 Hz (CEA-861B Format 16)
# "1920x1080_50" : 1920 x 1080 @ 50 Hz (CEA-861B Format 31)
# "1920x1080_30" : 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97/30 Hz (CEA-861B Format 34)
# "1920x1080_25" : 1920 x 1080 @ 25 Hz (CEA-861B Format 33)
# "1920x1080_24" : 1920 x 1080 @ 23.97/24 Hz (CEA-861B Format 32)
# "1920x1080_60i" : 1920 x 1080 @ 59.94/60 Hz (CEA-861B Format 5)
# "1920x1080_50i" : 1920 x 1080 @ 50.0 Hz Interlace

And my xorg.conf looks like this

Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "true"
Option "DynamicTwinView" "false"
Option "NoFlip" "false"
Option "FlatPanelProperties" "Scaling = Native"

Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP-1"
Option "ModeDebug" "true"
Option "HWCursor" "false"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Identifier "screen"
Device "nvidia"
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1920x1080_60_0" "1920x1080_24"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "false"
EndSection

I can use the xgamma command to set it, but I lose that setting on a reboot. Any Ideas?

Ayla Wrote:JumJum,

I have set my system up with your script and I use 1080p@60Hz in the XBMC menus, for smoother browsing.

But, after my HTPC (XBMC) has been suspended (sleep) and resumed, it always defaults to 1080p@24Hz.

Any way I can change that?

JumJum Wrote:[SIZE="5"]If you don't have any 23.97 or 59.94 modes here, that's when you need to use modelines instead! Use the test command in the beginning of the post to see if your modelines work as expected. Then continue with step 4.

My rates look like this. Which one should I take?

JumJum Wrote:You should be good with "1920x1080_60_0" and "1920x1080_24". I don't think you'll need to use modelines.

I'd use modelines only instead of combining modelines and modes. You can find the modelines for these two modes in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log
