Hi there,
This is a little OT but still related. I was running my freevo on a
ubuntu 8.4 system with a onboard Intel gma3100 video card* (xorg says
it has a G33 chipset), and thought that could be a good idea to upgrade
to 8.10. After the upgrade, it seems that every video playing is kind
choppy. I was planning for a while to go back to Debian ( I should
never leaved it...), so I did a fresh new Debian "unstable" install. To
my surprise the problem persist. After a lot of tinkering, I found that
using Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" solves the problem (or at
least "soften" it). So... anybody is aware of problems with xorg 7.3
and intel cards?
I also tried to move from the current VGA cable to my LG 32" LCD Tv to
the HDMI cable. First, the xorg could only use the ridiculous 720x480
resolution. After searching for a while, I found that i need to use a
modeline line if I want to use something else. So I tried a modeline
for 1280x720, and it worked... sort of... I lost about 5%-10% of the
image on each border (overscan?). And then... i gave up. Since hdmi is
all digital and so on, shouldnt it be more "plug and play"? Or the hdmi
spec is badly implemented on TVs? Or in xorg? Anyway... any help on
this will be appreciated.
