hi,
I have Via CN700M chipset with 3167 VGA on board and I need to output
standart PAL on TV-Out (Composite)
Everything work fine but I can't convice openchrome driver to use another
ModeLine than:
Modeline "720x576Over" 27.00 720 768 800 864 576 577 579 625 -hsync +vsync
Problem with this setting is that it don't work with any PAL TV, image
looks unsychronized and it is barely watchable. In my opinion, the reason
is that ModeLine above set horizontal refresh rate to 31.25KHz
As far as I know PAL has horizontal refresh rate 15.625KHz
My attempts to force refresh rate or customize Modeline was rejected
by messages:
Not using mode "720x576" (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)
horizontal refresh rate 15.625KHz imply clock frequency near 14MHz
I also noticed message :
Clock range: 20.00 to 230.00 MHz
so than if clock range is limited to 20 Mhz from bottom
how it can produce clean image when I set Video output in BIOS
to CRT+TV when displaying POST screen
