Just tried XBMC Live Atlantis Beta2 on CD and it works well on my PC except that when I tried to switch to 1080i, all the fonts and graphic became very large and only 1/4 upper left corner could be shown. It works fine at 720p. I'm sure my LCD TV supports 1080i and 1080p (1920x1080).
Can anyone help? Million thanks
My system configuration:
Vista Home + Nvidia 8800GT
XBMC Linux cannot set the output resolution like with windows version, not as good anyway.
You need to check the ones with (fullscreen) beside them, if you cant find a 1080i/1080p there then you need to edit the xorg.conf, which can be a nightmare.
Good read: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Category:HDTV_Database
or http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Modeline_Database

When you have a good xorg.conf (base your around the one on live found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf) then you create a folder called "config" on the USB, from windows, linux or whatever. and place the new xorg.conf in there.
Best of lucks!

Thanks Tobias. Do you mean the xorg.conf should be place the directory of the USB drive, say j:/config/, visible from Windows, instead of the linux directory after my login thru ssh?
Sorry for my dumb question.

Yep meant the one from windows.
We autocopy from there if its available for easier setup.
