Hello all,
I've installed my new AV-Reciever (Onkyo TX-SR508) which has HDMI Passthrough.
Everything went fine but when i connect my HTPC running Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 with an Geforce G210 graphicscard with HDMI-Passthrough through the Onkyo my image on the television is kinda screwed up. It's still watchable but it looks like the whole image is interlaced of some sort... or an refreshrate error. It has horizontal lines/artifacted with some flickering and non-smooth movements.
This only occurs when running Ubuntu with the Nvidia drivers, (i've tried 185, 195 and 260). When running the vesa drivers from Ubuntu the image is perfectly clear, also in Windows 7 i dont suffer this problem. Connecting the HTPC directly to my TV solves the problem when using nvidia drivers under ubuntu.. it seems like something interfers but since it's only happening when running the nvidia drivers under ubuntu i guess it's a software/setting problem.
Here are soms pictures of what i mean: (the problems are the horizontal lines/artifacts, in the pictures they seem less then they actually are.)

Anybody has some clue's for me where to look or what to change? Maybe some xorg.conf settings since i've no clue what to change!
