Maybe little off the topic, but since XBMC build on ubuntu ...

Finally, I almost get everything work.

I'm using HDMI to connect to Vizio GV47L, onboard SPDIF to connect to receiver (not though HDMI), Microsoft remote control. I have QX9650 CPU, so CPU power isn't an issue.

So far, XBMC play most of my 1080P movie without problem. Just "Bounce Ultimate" 1080p, somehow no video, only sound. And after I stop it, XBMC stop response me.

SMB crash as somebody already report (either browse or try to input server name). but I can use NFS without problem (paired with my DNS-323 NAS)

When I play Planet of Earth 1080P, the CPU usage pretty high, in some section, two of three cores reach 60% (report by XBMC), total CPU reach 270%. I will use top to check if this report is reliable next time.

Sorry for typo, and some more information.

I set
Option "monitor-TMDS-1" "GV47L"
Option "monitor-VGA" "GV47L"

And it's "PreferredMode", not "PerferredMode". So it's:
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080"

The trick is: output to monitor

Checked X11 log, it connect to VGA first, and then disconnect VGA and connect to TMDS-1. Since I'm using Intel graphic card, TMDS-1 is first DVI port, it may different to nVidia. I saw somewhere mentioned graphic output name for different port for both Intel and nVidia.

Anyway, what I did is:

in "Device" section for graphic card add:
Option "monitor-TMDS-1" "GV47L"
if you want, you can add another line like:
Option "monitor-VGA" "VGA"
First parameter (monitor-TMDS-1) is output of graphic card, second parameter is monitor.

when in monitor "GV47L" section, define Modeline
ModeLine "1920x1080" 148.35 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1085 1090 1125 +HSync +VSync
Option "PerferredMode" "1920x1080"

And in "Display" subsection under "screen" section add:
Depth 24
Mode "1920x1080"
Virtual 2048 2048

After this, it's give me 1080p output on my GV47L

I will post my xorg.conf later.

Thanks

Lemme' guess - Planet Earth disc 1 during the Bird Scene? It's funny, there's a clip of that that I think most of us agree is a bit nutz on the encoding and not typical. However.... I encoded that DVD myself and damned if it's the ONE piece of video I've done yet that drops frames! Both cores on my machine are hitting 100% and it's clocked at 3Ghz. That is one NASTY scene :-O

Hi,

I have the same rig as you.
Can you post a copy of you xorg config file?
Have you compiled/updated your intel vga drivers?
What distro are you running?

Thanks in advance!

Here is my xorg.conf. From XBMC system info, it shows it 1920x1080@77-80Hz, probably I still need to tune it.

Stupid question - is that getting you 1080P or 1080i? Do you still get some overscan? I have an NVIDIA card not Intel so not sure I can use too much from your file but now you've got me wanting to tweak again darn it! Your modeline and some other things might help me. At the desktop I have overscan - drives me nutz - but XBMC looks great.

I'm getting 1080P, that's for sure (My TV said so). I don't have any overscan. I think HDMI is 1 to 1 pixel mapping, and Vizio did pretty good on HDMI input. I verified it with both Windows and Ubuntu.

I think you can use modeline from this configuration. The only different from nVidia to Intel is: output port name. Check your xorg log file. I set both VGA and HDMI to same monitor because X windows use VGA first and then switch to HDMI (That's what log file told me).

Thanks

Noodle

Will backup what I have and try it, probably tomorrow - watching a movie now Thank you!
