Could you please adjust the wiki's xorg.conf accordingly? I don't run Nvidia anymore since ~ 2 years.

I can try tomorrow when I am off from work. I am not at home so I can't be sure it is really working without testing it first (and I have never edited a wiki page before).
I have a custom xorg.conf that is generated when running Nvidia 355.11 drivers so some things might have changed since the 30x.x versions.

Hi again, for some reason the forum stopped notifying me of replies.
Note that I have two screens connected, if that matters. One is my PC monitor, and the other is my AVR/TV. Also note that xorg.conf is completely foreign to me.
I'd really like to get this working! If it's only a matter of finding the correct stuff to put in xorg.conf, how can I do that?

There was no discernible difference - I still experienced judder.

You can see my complete xorg.conf here.

No Debug Log - no issue as always.
Our wiki has a relevant xorg.conf for nvidia.
Edit: Also OpenELEC has one: http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=..._xorg.conf

Here are debug logs when playing the same test as in previous posts (mediainfo):
First, I played back the file using no xorg.conf. Here's the log.
Then, I tried using SwedishGojira's xorg.conf, used as-is except I commented out the "Extensions" section (disabling composite made my screen black when booting, and only the mouse cursor was visible). Playing the file with Kodi produced this log.
Then, I tried using the OpenELEC xorg.conf as-is (again commenting out the Extensions section). When I booted, the mouse cursor flashed irregularly, and a box was also flashing irregularly around the mouse cursor. Also, when I played the file, CPU usage was through the roof and Kodi showed only one frame every 10-15 seconds or so. Kodi produced this log.
Finally I tried the xorg.conf on the Kodi Wiki, under section 4. I experienced the same mouse cursor problems. Playing the file with Kodi produced this log.
I should maybe also inform you that my drivers are 352.63.
Thank you so much for the continued help. I hope this is solvable.

All no debuglogs ... I cannot help you.
Your issue is solved the moment: DISPLAY=:0 /usr/lib/kodi/kodi-xrandr shows the 23.976 hz - until then you have an issue not related to kodi.

After the first replies to this thread, it became clear that my problems have nothing to do with Kodi, but instead with missing Nvidia modelines. Thus, I am not looking for help in debugging Kodi anymore. Right now I just wanted to follow up on the recent replies concerning xorg.conf and modelines, and try to get the correct modelines working on my system.

Is DISPLAY=:0 /usr/lib/kodi/kodi-xrandr a command I need to run? Do I need to run that while watching a video (when Kodi has switched my display to 24 Hz)? If so, wouldn't that pose a few practical problems?

DISPLAY=:0 /usr/lib/kodi/kodi-xrandr <- command to run, if there is no 24.0 and no 23.976 hz mode - you need to continue fiddeling with your xorg.conf

Do I need to run that command while watching a video (when Kodi has switched my display to 24 Hz)? Or does the command simply list all available modes, regardless of the active mode?
2016-06-29, 12:38
it lists all available modes, independently from video playback or even kodi. Only the X server needs to be running.

Now play a file and while playing also capture the xrandr command. And provide the Debug Log + the xrandr output while playing.
2016-06-29, 20:52
Well, I'll say! I unplugged the DVI monitor and it seems to work perfectly!
It even worked wonderfully when I did not use any xorg.conf. Does that make sense to you? Here's the log. The xrandr output is identical to the upper of the two outputs in my previous post.
I should mention that when I played back previously, I always used only one screen, even though both were connected. I never duplicated or extended the screens.
Now, is there any way I can make this work without physically disconnecting my PC monitor screen all the time? Which is really cumbersome...
