Hi,

Could someone explain how to add an additional video mode (specifically 1360x768) to XBMC Live please?

Thanks,

Ian

Hi,

I've used this modeline generator (http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl). Once you have the correct modeline you need to put it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, something like this:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LCDTV"
...

Modeline "1920x1080@24" 74.250 1920 2560 2608 2752 1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync
Modeline "1920x1080@50" 148.500 1920 2448 2492 2640 1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync
Modeline "1920x1080@60" 148.500 1920 2008 2056 2200 1080 1084 1089 1125 +hsync +vsync

EndSection


and in section Screen you tell the X server which mode you want to use:

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "LCDTV"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1920x1080@60" "1920x1080@24"
EndSubSection
EndSection

I need help with my modelines... ???

This is the settings page out of my 50" Plasma TV manual.

My HTPC is connected over HDMI, resolution is 1920x1080p.

I tried to fill out the XFree86 Modeline Generator, but the results seem unusable! Can anyone help me with it or is my TV just not capable to show more than one refresh rate?!

Use the gtf console prog. to generate modelines.
