Video Calibration causing the screen to display BLACK
#1
Hi,

I hope someone can figure this one out ... i'm using OPENELEC (Rel 2) and COMPONENT video.

After fiddling around with xorg.conf and finally getting 1080i to display, my issue began after using Video Calibration. For some reason changing the dimensions of the screen using Video Calibration screws something up after a reboot and displays a black screen (aka. zilch).

The only way to get the screen to display anything is to change the TVStandard option to a resolution that has not been used with Video Calibration, such as 480i.

I tried to find where the Video Calibration setting is being stored to at least delete the configuration, but I can't find it. Help!! ... I want 1080i!

I partially solved my problem ... i upgraded from Openelec Rel 2 to Rel 3b2. At least now I can use 1080i, but my dimensions are off.

I don't think you really want 1080i because XBMC only outputs progressive.
