 Post subject: Odd Refresh Rate Problem

So I recently changed my display device from a 480p unit to a 720p unit. I therefore also changed my modeline.

Strange thing is, When the computer starts and loads the desktop, my resolution is 1280x720 @ 60 Hz, which is correct per my modeline. As soon as mythfrontend loads, it switches to 1280x720 @ 50 Hz.

In my Appearance settings, I have set all video and the GUI to display at 60Hz. When I go to watch any tv recordings, my display then changes to the correct display rate of 60 Hz. As soon as I exit the recording, the GUI switches back to 50 Hz. I never had this issue with any other display devices.

This is pretty annoying for my wife, as the screen flickers for a moment every time the refresh rate changes. Any suggestions would be great. Additional info is below:

Graphics Card: Nvidia 6200
Display: Optoma HD 65 projector, pixelmaped at 1280x720.
Connection: DVI-to-HDMI conversion cable

The Hsync or Dot clock is not published for this projector. The Vsync is published as 40-120.

Also, when I do the command Xrandr, It shows several different resolution options that I don’t have specified in my modelines. Is my file creating temporary modelines on the fly? If so, why?

Here are the relevant sections of my Xorg.conf file

Code:

You only need the Depth 24 section of the last section, incidentally.

Have you tried a mode of "720p" in this section? Put it first, prior to your rather strangely named "aaa"

Mike

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I know I only need a depth mode of 24, I guess I didn't feel the need to remove it since it isnt harming anything.

Now, if I input a mode of "720p" Wouldnt that mean that I would also need a modeline named '720p'? I do not have a modeline by that name.

My naming conventions of the modelines is kinda strange, I did that to help keep them organized since all of the modelines are variations of 1280x720 :-)

PS. I am running R5F27.
