[Openchrome-users] only NTSC modes in VT1626 TV-out modes? -> need PAL

[Roy Thompson]

Hmm, strange.

I am using the rca tv-out, as my TV won't do s-video properly over 
scart. (comes out black and white -
this is a common problem with scart apparently).

That test card displays OK, I get about a cm or so around the red 
overscan box displayed, but it
is not exactly centered.  It's a bit "shimmery" on the fine lines in the 
test card.

I've played a couple of low quality mpegs and the colours seem fine.

I'll try and get some of the more colourful test cards and maybe try and 
take some photos of the tv.
I've got this in my xorg.conf:

ModeLine "720x576Over"     14.0625 720  760  800 900       576  600  
615  625 -hsync -vsync interlace
