just upgraded to Eden --- on a separate HD --- from 9.10.

ran this back then for my panasonic ae4000 projector and it made ALL the difference.

most menus and text are pretty horrible looking now as well as the lxde desktop (unreadable actually).

movies also now seem to jump? or skip? i'm assuming this is what ppl mean when they same judder.

since all the hardware, aside from the HD, is exactly the same, would it be possible to just copy my old xorg.conf file to my new /etc/x11 folder and get the same results?

Can anyone confirm if this will work with OpenELEC and the EDEN version of it?
Thanks

I suppose not... The openELEC filesystem is read only, the only things you can tweak is via /storage/.config/ directory

You could do most of the steps manually. Smile
But we don't have nvidia-settings. So that part you have to skip completly, but it should work when you set them in xorg.conf.

Hi guys.
I have stumbled across this thread and was hoping it would fix my problems but alas I am still struggling.
So to give you some background.
I have an Acer Revo 3610 2gb ram with XBMCLive (dharma) upgraded to Eden. (I forget the thread but instead of doing a whole new install I just upgraded the XBMC component on top of the live 10.1 OS)
That connects to an Onkyo TX-SR 578 amp through HDMI which then outputs to my TV. This is where my problem starts as I just had my old Samsung LA46A850A LCD to a new UA46ES6800 LED. Until now all my 24p content was playing fine but now it is all subject to frame judder/stutter (i.e the frame jerks forward or skips every 15-20 seconds)
I tried running the script originally but ran in to the errors where it referenced xbmclive
So I worked my way through the manual instructions to no avail.
I believe I have run everything correctly.
But I do have two concerns. The modes.txt file that generates refers to my Onkyo Amp. I firmly believe the TV is the problem (especially since I connected the Acer directly to the TV)
So I then connected the Acer to the TV and output the modes.txt for that. But i found that the mode names seemed to be identical so I copied the ones I wanted to over.
Still no success.
So this is what my xorg.conf file looks like now
Code:
GNU nano 2.2.2                                        File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Device"
        Identifier "nvidia"
        Driver  "nvidia"
        Option  "NoLogo"              "true"
        Option  "DynamicTwinView"     "false"
        Option  "FlatPanelProperties" "Scaling = Native"
        Option  "ModeValidation"      "NoVesaModes, NoXServerModes, NoVertRefreshCheck, NoHorizSyncCheck"
        Option  "UseDisplayDevice"    "DFP-1"
        Option  "ModeDebug"           "true"
        Option  "HWCursor"            "false"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "screen"
        Device          "nvidia"
        SubSection      "Display"
                Modes "1920x1080_60" "nvidia-auto-select" "1920x1080_24" "1920x1080_25"
                        "1920x1080_60_0" "1920x1080_50"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
        Option  "Composite"           "false"
EndSection
This is the Modes.txt for the TV
Code:
$ME/Desktop/modes.txt --- Modes in ModePool for SAMSUNG (DFP-0) ---
"nvidia-auto-select" : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
"1920x1080"          : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
"1920x1080_60"       : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
"1920x1080_60_0"     : 1920 x 1080 @ 59.94/60 Hz (CEA-861B Format 16) (from: E$
"1920x1080_50"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 50 Hz (CEA-861B Format 31) (from: EDID)
"1920x1080_30"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97/30 Hz (CEA-861B Format 34) (from: E$
"1920x1080_25"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 25 Hz (CEA-861B Format 33) (from: EDID)

"1920x1080_50i"      : 1920 x 1080 @  50.0 Hz Interlace  (from: EDID)
There was a heap more but I just pasted the 1080 settings
This is the Modes for the amp
Code:
--- Modes in ModePool for ONK TX-SR578 (DFP-0) ---
"nvidia-auto-select" : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
"1920x1080"          : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
"1920x1080_60"       : 1920 x 1080 @  60.0 Hz  (from: EDID)
"1920x1080_60_0"     : 1920 x 1080 @ 59.94/60 Hz (CEA-861B Format 16) (from: EDID)
"1920x1080_50"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 50 Hz (CEA-861B Format 31) (from: EDID)
"1920x1080_30"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97/30 Hz (CEA-861B Format 34) (from: EDID)
"1920x1080_25"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 25 Hz (CEA-861B Format 33) (from: EDID)
"1920x1080_24"       : 1920 x 1080 @ 23.97/24 Hz (CEA-861B Format 32) (from: EDID)

"1920x1080_50i"      : 1920 x 1080 @  50.0 Hz Interlace  (from: EDID)

I have applied the Nvidia settings as per the instructions and all settings in XBMC are correct.
The other odd thing which I noticed was that the modes.txt both referred to the devices as DFP-0 where the xorg referred to the device as DFP-1
Could these be a cause of the problems?
Any ideas or hints would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Justin

Also I have uploaded a debug log Here
The video is selected around line 520
Hope this helps
Thanks

EDIT: after further reading did this test
