Linux HOW-TO achieve perfect playback at 23.97 or 59.94 Hz with NVIDIA GPU hardware

Hi All,

I am using an edid.bin in my xorg file, reason being is that sometimes my revo switches on before my amp/tv and results in X failing to initialize.

Is there a way to have custom ModeLines ie;

ModeLine "1920x1080_23.976" 74.175 1920 2558 2602 2750 1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync

when you have edid.bin specified, ie:

Option "ConnectedMonitor" "DFP-0"
Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-0:/storage/.config/edid.bin"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "false"
Option "UseEDID" "true"

Hello all,

I`ve been having a wierd problem with the nvidia and 23.976 playback. I own an viera plasma, and a pc is connected to it with an gt210 nvidia card. I run ubuntu 12.04 as a OS, and use the latest Nvidia drivers available 310.19.
I`ve followed this howto, and everything seems fine: i have 60 hz in xbmc front interface and when a 23.976 movie is playing it switches the display into "24Hz" mode.
The problem is that when i have the frequency set to 50 or 60 Hz and then i switch to match video refresrate, the resolution changes from 1920x1080 to 1917x1020. This only happens when i switch, because if a put the default refresh brate to 24Hz from the begginging(frontend and movies) then everything is normal. Does anybody knows or has any fix for this issue?

Why did you follow this how-to? I have added a big fat OUTDATED to post #1.

As a thread for HOW-to, it is outdated as Fernetmenta says. Look at my signature (last link though that applies to Full HD only), until I have time and patience to re-write This subject on a forum topic that would replace this. this thread is ginormous anyway. Good luck finding anything in between the gazillions replies of value.

for time being as a stop gap for discussing this matter this is probably best place as long as ppl dont use the how-to.

@Fernetmenta

Increase fond size and bold it and color it This color

Perhaps it wont be so easily ignored after that?

Sorry I know its a serious comment, but its funny as hell.

aww, Santa doesn't exist, sorry about those news.

Does anything of this still apply for latest drivers (for example 304.84 as included in OpenELEC)? Or does it get handled correctly out of the box by now?

I am using a Shuttle XS35GTV2 with an ION2.

Thanks!
