I have a system using an i815 chipset and it is connected to a ADS TV Elite XGA scan convertor that is in turn connected to a 36" Toshiba television (not HD). If I configure X for a Generic 640x480 monitor and set the resolution to 640x480, everything seems to work just fine. There is a little expected overscan, but it is useable. What I'd like to do is use 800x600 resolution, but when I configure for a Generic 800x600 monitor and set the resolution to 800x600, the displayed video is much wider and taller than my video screen.
BTW - I really expected the scan convertor to "just work" to make either resolution fit properly on the TV.
Playing around with a mode line, I can get the width within the actual screen size, but I can not get the height within the actual screen size. Do I need to use "interlace" mode? If so, does the i815 chipset and/or X driver support interlace mode? Would it be better (easier) for me to trash the scan convertor and i815 in favor of a video card with a built in TV-OUT and if so, any recommendations?
Could someone supply a modeline for the i815, that will get 800x600 displayed properly on a standard NTSC television?
Thanks in advance for any information/help anyone can offer.
