[mythtv-users] nVidia driver 304.88: problems

[Jean-Yves Avenard]

Ok.

My contact at NVidia's has already answered me... not sure yet if it's an
improper use of xrandr on myth side, or an issue with nvctrl... (I'm fairly
certain its the later)

In the mean time: I have a work-around for myth not changing the video mode
under some circumstances using nvidia 3xx and later.
If you followed the judder free myth wiki page.
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:JudderFree

In the monitor section of xorg.conf, where you have:

   # 1920x1080p @ 60Hz (EIA/CEA-861B)
   ModeLine "1920x1080 at 60" 148.500 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1089
1125 +hsync +vsync

add another identical and rename it like so:

   # 1920x1080p @ 60Hz (EIA/CEA-861B)
   ModeLine "1920x1080 at 602" 148.500 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1089
1125 +hsync +vsync

And in the screen section change:

	SubSection "Display"
		Depth     24
		Modes "1920x1080 at 60" "1920x1080 at 50" "1920x1080 at 24"
"1920x1080 at 23.976" "1920x1080 at 50i"
		Modes "1920x1080 at 60i" "1920x1080 at 59.94" "1920x1080 at 59.94i"
	EndSubSection

into:

	SubSection "Display"
		Depth     24
		Modes "1920x1080 at 60" "1920x1080 at 602" "1920x1080 at 50" "1920x1080 at 24"
"1920x1080 at 23.976" "1920x1080 at 50i"
		Modes "1920x1080 at 60i" "1920x1080 at 59.94" "1920x1080 at 59.94i"
	EndSubSection


So the first entry exists twice. So if the first modeline happens to
disappear from the list, there's another one myth can find...

I'll commit the fix that prevent unecessary switch...
