... well, for the 80x25 text console anyway when enabling TV out with atitvout.
I have spent the better part of yesterday afternoon to come up with a
modeline that would display my screen to the TV and got as far as having
a screen with proper vsync, i.e. the lines didn't run through, stayed at
the places they were. AFAICS the hsync isn't working, because the
individual lines are "too short" and each one is offset in relation to
the preceding line.
I got these best results with NTSC modes even though my TV is really a
PAL one (that only happens to display NTSC as well if I guess
correctly). This seems consistent with the text console showing properly
as it's got 60Hz vsync also.
Now my maybe uninformed idea is, should I get hold of a modeline with
the same parameters as the 80x25@60Hz text console, I should get a valid
picture on the TV. I tried to get the necessary information to do this
yesterday but to no avail, so: Does anyone know a modeline that
resembles the text console? Or pursuing another direction: I know that
there's some Windows tool which tells you the modeline for the currently
set graphics mode (I don't know its URL at the moment, does anyone
else?), can anyone with Windows run it when the TV out is working?
Ah yes, other details: Red Hat Linux 7.3, packaged XFree86-4.2.0-8,
atitvout-0.2b
TIA,
Nils

Ever noticed that common sense isn't really all that common?
