Diff Refresh Rates for Diff Drivers?
Hi, I'm using an EPIA EN15000G with gentoo linux installed on it. I use xfce for my desktop environment. I'm pretty new to linux, but I managed to get my system up and running and am able to watch video files no problem using VLC (on a 27in tv). However, when I tried to watch a DVD it was skipping. I discovered that I had no acceleration on because I was using only the vesa driver.
So, I found openchrome here and it seems to be installed, xorg starts but the screen is distorted and everything is skewed to the side. This is similar to problems I had at the beginning which were refresh rate problems. However, the only thing I really changed in my xorg.conf was the driver to use. When I switch back the driver line in xorg.conf to say vesa, it works fine again. Do I need to use a different refresh rate setting while using the openchrome driver?
I have attached my xorg.conf. The stuff commented out is stuff I assume I will need to activate later to get the acceleration working. It doesn't seem to help the distortion issue though. It's a pretty simple config, maybe too simple?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
