| globus | hi Windows needs to do, someone knows a similar program to nLite but on ubuntu | 02:07 |
|---|---|---|
| Hdale85 | Was curious if anyone here might be able to help me setup a 1080i custom resolution to output over component video to my Mitsubishi HD RPTV. Or maybe just point me to a guide that would work? | 03:25 |
| holstein | Hdale85: that might be a question for a myth channel | 03:37 |
| holstein | not sure... | 03:38 |
| Hdale85 | yeah I've been googling a bit and there are lots of people asking but I don't see a lot of answers | 03:39 |
| holstein | did you ask mitsubishi? | 03:40 |
| holstein | what video card is it? | 03:40 |
| Hdale85 | why would mitsubishi know about setting up linux resolution? | 03:41 |
| Hdale85 | it's an Nvidia 9500g | 03:41 |
| Hdale85 | gt* | 03:41 |
| Hdale85 | it can't probe EDID info from component connections | 03:42 |
| holstein | its their hardware | 03:42 |
| Hdale85 | so it just defaults to 1024x768 | 03:42 |
| holstein | hmmm | 03:42 |
| Hdale85 | the TV is yes....but the HTPC is what needs the resolution set | 03:42 |
| holstein | have you tried a custom xorg.conf? | 03:42 |
| Hdale85 | well I was going to try it, but I'm not even sure how to tell it to do interlaced or anything | 03:42 |
| holstein | yeah, me either | 03:43 |
| holstein | ive used knoppix live CD's in the past | 03:43 |
| holstein | to generate an xorg.conf i can steal | 03:43 |
| Hdale85 | yeah but it would be the same thing, because it can't probe EDID from component connections | 03:44 |
| Hdale85 | so it would just default to some lower resolution | 03:44 |
| holstein | right | 03:45 |
| holstein | but you would have an xorg.conf | 03:45 |
| holstein | and you can edit the res | 03:45 |
| Hdale85 | well there is a xorg.conf on ubuntu as it is | 03:46 |
| holstein | OH, so you already generated one then? | 03:46 |
| holstein | what happens when you change the res? | 03:46 |
| Hdale85 | there is one there, as well as a backup I tink it's all setup to auto detect though | 03:47 |
| holstein | shouldnt be any different really | 03:48 |
| holstein | maybe look at a sample | 03:48 |
| holstein | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=931280 | 03:48 |
| Hdale85 | yeah I'm just trying to reasearch what settings I need | 03:48 |
| Hdale85 | I found someone that seems to be doing what I need | 03:48 |
| holstein | you'l need to know what the mitsubishi is capable of | 03:48 |
| Hdale85 | http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=65372 | 03:48 |
| Hdale85 | 1080i | 03:48 |
| Hdale85 | 1920x1080 interlaced | 03:49 |
| Hdale85 | which is the issue I have no idea how to set it to interlaced lol | 03:49 |
| holstein | i assume the card and driver supports that | 03:49 |
| holstein | http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?p=876931 | 03:50 |
| Hdale85 | yeah, pretty sure | 03:50 |
| holstein | i usually just try a bunch of live CD's | 03:51 |
| holstein | til one looks close | 03:51 |
| holstein | steal the xorg.conf | 03:51 |
| holstein | edit a bit | 03:51 |
| holstein | copy it in | 03:51 |
| holstein | otherwise, all those settings can be a bit daunting | 03:51 |
| Hdale85 | sounds like a lot of work to me :) | 03:51 |
| Hdale85 | I'll figure out the xorg | 03:52 |
| holstein | hehe | 03:52 |
| holstein | that sounds like a lot fo work to me ;) | 03:52 |
| holstein | but, im more of a hardware guy | 03:52 |
| Hdale85 | Well I know my way around xorg files, just need to know what it needs to see | 03:52 |
| Hdale85 | well I've got some idea's now | 03:57 |
