I don't know if you should or shouldn't copy my Xorg settings. I<br>
provided them as an example of something that works.<br>
<br>
Any decent television will have a manual, be it printed or PDF, that<br>
tells you the refresh rates. Just look in your manual for this<br>
information.<br>
<br>
If you really want to know about my configuration, take a look at my<br>
xinitrc[1]. It will tell you everything you need to know about the X<br>
environment I run. Also, you can look at my full Xorg config file that<br>
I am currently using at [2]. Really, I should migrate some settings<br>
from [3] into it because my MythTV box is no longer connected directly<br>
to my TV (finally got sound to work over HDMI). But [2] is working<br>
just fine. The exact video card I used is [4].<br>
<br>
I don't use *buntu anything. I run Arch Linux (x64), up-to-date as of<br>
last Saturday. So can't really give you any information specific to<br>
your distribution.<br>
