Oh alright, my bad then. But definately, activating "Allow flipping" in Nvidia-Settings gives me bad stutter.
What is the difference between activating/disabling flipping in xorg.conf and nvidia-settings?

This script saved me a lot of time to set the refresh mode properly for videos with different frame rates. I must say its an awesome work !
I don't know why but after using this sript if I start a video most of the times the first few secs will be kind of greenish/pixels a disorted. (Running 28256, vdpau GF8400GS)
Any Idea how to solve this ?

It's something you want to have enabled.
Alright, understood. So that means enabling it in both, xorg.conf AND nvidia-settings is the way to go?

I'm pretty sure those two settings do the same thing, might as well turn them both on to be safe.

I have a TV that supports both 24Hz and 23.976Hz.
And some of my blu-rays (remuxed) are mastered at 24fps.
Will running this script let XBMC pick 24Hz for 24fps movies and 23.976Hz for 23.976fps movies?
(I'm running Windows now just because I could not stand the judder)

I am pretty sue the answer is know. Xrandr can't use decimal numbers, so it cannot distinguish between 23.976 and 24. So you'll have to choose one of them..

hi guys, here i have the same problem as boba23, i have followed this guide and i have stutter if i set enable to "allow flipping" option in nvidia settings.anyway i see it only in 24/23.976 hz movie. Also the problem is that if i set it off when see a movie without black bars (totally fullscreen) i notice a tearing problem in upside screen always in the same point. maybe a problem with "allow flipping" disabled, but at least there's no more little stutter every 1-2 minutes. sorry for the bad english, hope there's a solution to this.
i have ubuntu 9.10 32bit with nvidia 195.36.15, asrock ion 330 pro (via HDMI) xbmc last svn, samsung 40 b7000 led tv correctly configured in xorg.conf.
