I havd vdr-1.7.5, xine-vdpau r260, vdr-xine .91. Runing on a Athlon64 x2 and Asus en8400gs silent video card. I have a FusionHDTV7 Dual Express in it currently. I am having problems figureing out the proper settings in all the config files. I am getting droped frames, sometimes high enough to cause the popup box. Does it with any of the deint options.

I will be setting up two systems basicly the same. One will be going to the HD input on a MITS WS65905 an dthe other will be going through the RGB inputs on a pre-HD (1984) Sony. Currently I just have both ports going to standard computer monitors. The DVI port seems to want to run at 85hz while the VGA is runing at 60hz. id on't know if the high rate on the one is part of the problem. ---------------------------- /etc/X11/xorg.conf has Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "Unknown" HorizSync 28.0 - 33.0 VertRefresh 43.0 - 72.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection

I don't seem to have any nvidia setings file but I was able to get a dump of what it is using.

I have also had what seme to be video lockups. First I thought it was the tunner over heating because when it first happened, vdr would not respond to remote and the card was hot. I added heat sinks to the 3 main chips with thermal tape and put an 80mm fan over the card. It is now midly warm but video still locks at times. I can run all night or it can lock within an hour. There are a lot of lines like this in syslog and user.log:
