Hello im a newbie *g* i have installed XBMC live on a memorystick in my new acer aspire revo.
My Sony TV supports 24hz, how can i switch the screen resolution to 1920x1080P@24hz.
In the screen resolution menu i can only choose 1920x1080i or p and 50hz 51hz 52 and so on.

Linux doesn't seem to read the EDID of some devices properly. For my Epson projector, I had to use xrandr and manually add a modeline to get 24p.

Anyone knows how to fix this? The only thing holding me back to use XBMC Live instead of a Windows install is not having 24p playback... it's not specific to XBMC Live, just the nVidia Linux driver (probably), but I seriously don't know how to fix this.
Some more info maybe useful:
Motherboard: Gigabyte EP31-DS3
CPU: Intel Core2Duo E8400 (3.0GHz)
Memory: OCZ 1GB
GPU: Gigabyte nVidia Geforce GF9500GT 512MB (HDMI/DVI/VGA)
Thanks!

It will fix both.But you need to enter some data about your TV and video card. Also it's an application that you run in a terminal in Linux.

Yes,I guess you should be able to.I don't know that application so I can't tell you for sure.
I got my info from the xorg log file (max pixelclock, this is a video card parameter) and from the TV manual (horizontal sync,vertical refresh).

IMPORTANT: I've had several issues with nvidia drivers and/or xbmc version. So this is my tested and verified combination what works without issues for me:
* xbmc live 9.04
* nvifia drivers 180.44
Your TV will not be able to do 24p ,look at your vertical refresh it's 59-86. So it's similar to my TV which means you can get 1080p@60.
Try my xorg.conf with the above combination of xbmc live and nvidia driver.Your TV has the same data as mine,so can't see why it shouldn't work out.Use the whole section from my conf file :
Section "Monitor"
