Eh?



My LCD is marked as 16:9 and 1440x900 is native resolution.

Maybe this will be problem with my xorg.conf setup?

Did you restriction the aspect ratio to 16:9?  1440x900 is 16:10.

1440x900 is 16:10, not 16:9.

  (1440 / 810) = (16 /  9) = 1.77
  (1440 / 900) = (16 / 10) = 1.6

There is a check box on that form to restrict the aspect ratio.  If you
checked off 16:9 but still entered a 16:10 resolution, then it would
only generate the modeline for a 16:9 resolution, which happened to be
1440x810 in your case.

I also do not know if you're referring to a LCD TV, or a computer
monitor.  It's quite possible your LCD physically is 16:9, but still has
a 16:10 input resolution and the picture is scaled appropriately
internally.  For example, my LCD TV seems to only allow 4:3 resolutions
on the VGA input even though the physical aspect ratio is 16:9.  It will
take a 1400x1050 resolution and scale it to fit the full screen
(1920x1080).  I have to use 'mplayer -monitoraspect 16:9 ...' to prevent
videos from being displayed as a stretched out and misshaped 4:3 image.

 Hi,



 We have this BSD box with some films on, and someone had the idea of

 hookiing it up to the TV so we can watch DVD's etc in the living room.

 Not a bad idea, but I don't know how.

 You need an interlaced [EMAIL PROTECTED] mode. A suitable modeline should be

 findable with google.





 OK, well [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the standard vga option in xorg.conf. This

 fails :(



 As for modelines, googling modeline tvmodel xorg doesn't bring back

 any results.



Hi Edd,



The online XFree modeline generator [1] can generate interlace modelines

- are they any different to the one's you've tried?



HTH
