George Wrote:I got it working like this a couple of days ago. But what's not working for my setup is my television switching modes, I mean: when I play a 23.something movie my tv used to switch to 24p mode. And when playing a DVD my tv used to switch to 50Hz mode. That was with a Nvidia card. But I cannot get that to work on my new computer. Could you please let me know whether you got that working?
Yeah i have the same problem. I added this to the "not working" list.
I found out that the problem is not in xbmc. It is already there when X starts. I checked the xorg.log and there is only one refresh rate read out from the EDID data. I think this is closely related to the hdmi multichannel lpcm problem. The available screen and audio modes don"t get properly read.
The annyoing is that i can not set fixed modelines to use here. I tried it in a way we did it with nvidia cards, but nothingg happens. You can check the available refresh rates if you run xbmc in standalone mode with the --standalone switch. This way at video settings you can "choose" from the available one rate. This is the xorg.conf i tried. But i think this is useless:

I will report this problem to the Intel developers, but i want to collect more confirmation.
