You'll need to specify a modeline compatible with your TV. Check the mailing list archives - I went through this with my Samsung DLP about 6 to 8 weeks ago (or thereabout). My mythtv box is currently suffering from a failed BIOS upgrade so I can't currently get at my xorg.conf otherwise I'd tell you exactly what I have. -Bruce _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
