Would the jagged edges appear because the source was meant for 50Hz Interlaced, while the hardware is set for 60Hz interlaced? I had a similar problem on my nvidia tv-out device, and had to revert back to older drivers.<br>
<br>nvidia-drivers 1.0.7185, is the last driver that still support setting the tv-out device to 50Hz, instead of the default: PAL 60Hz. Any driver that nvidia released later on, doesn't seem to support tv-out @50Hz, no
xorg.conf settings will work. My card is an old Geforce4 440MX, so the new cards requires later drivers :(<br><br>I hope this maybe helps somebody.<br><br>Theunis<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 13/11/2007, <b class="gmail_sendername">
