Hi everybody,

as you can see, this is my first post.

I did search for my problem here , but unfortunately I could find, or understand, a solution.

Hopefully I don't make myself lots of enemies with this post

I'm running XBMC, latest build, on Ubuntu 9.10 with NVidia 190.42 driver.
Videocard - NVidia GForce 8400GS

My Prob is, that, allthough the resolution of my TV (1360x768) and the refresh-rate (60 Hz) matches exactly between card and TV, I still get a small line in the upper 3rd of the screen when playing videos.

Videos have a framerate of either 24 or 25 fps.

[Update: Also videos with a framerate of 30 fps have this little lien, which I find a bit weired, because this is just half of 60Hz. I thought this wouldn't cause any probs.... ]

The xorg.conf has already been modified with Option "DynamicTwinView" "False", that way I got the 1360x768 in 60 Hz. Before that I only could set it to 50, 51 or 52 Hz.

I think that is the point to start, but I simply don't now what to do...
I always thought this would be managed by the player.

Can anyone tell me at least where to look or what to read?

Thanks a lot.

Erik

You didn't tell us exactly what version of XBMC you are running. SVN? Beta1?

You should check your xbmc log for some clues as to what might be happening. Posting the log may be helpful.

Anyway I have the same TV also with a 8400GS and have no problems like that. I am running 190.42 also with Ubuntu Jaunty.

Here is my xorg.conf

Hi wstewart,

sry for posting now, I have been away yesterday.

You are right, I didn't mention the XBMC Version, and it is in fact the Beta1.

But I just copied your xorg.conf and :

I hereby declare yourself as my personal hero for the year 2009 and all upcoming decades!!

It looks like everything is running smoothly

Thanks again a lot,

Erik

No problem, glad I could help.

It would be useful if you could post what was different about your xorg.conf so that we know what the cause of the problem was.

Hi wstewart,

yes , shure, no problem, but don't laugh.

The xorg.conf is more or less untouched after installing ubuntu :

Quote:Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Option "DynamicTwinView" "false"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection

Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection

Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSection
