I have posted a new message in the Linux thread before I found this one.... Seems to be on the right track for a solution. I am not a linux buff, although I am comfortable poking around and changing things. It has never works so it is not like I will be loosing anything if I need to do a quick re-install.

Anyways, I have Acer X3200 with onboard Nvidia 8200 graphics. This is connected to an LG 42LC7D... When I install Live, I get dropped signals that cuts in and out as soon as I start going into any of the menus or trying to play any video.

I have worked through the tutorial, but have a problem with the results in the xlog.txt. I get no "Mode is Valid" for anything above 640x480.

TV is capable of 720p and 1080i. From what I read 1366x768@47 is the setting I am after.

With no config changes, the xlog.txt reports
Unable to validate any modes; falling back to the default mode
"nvidia-auto-select"

The auto select goes to 1366x768@60Hz. This appears to be the problem in that I think it is over driving the TV.

Any suggestions on how to get this working? For the record I get the same thing with Windows Vista and with Windows 7. It sticks to 60Hz, cuts in and out.

Any help would be greatfully appreciated! If you fix this for me I would even buy beers..

Thanks in advance,

Mike
