Soft-15KHz - slim new tool for 15KHz on normal vga cards
SailorSat:
Actually I used a 35" 16:9 hantarex for 1280x720i (more like 1280x600 visible at 50Hz) and iirc 1024x576@50i / 848x480@60i.
Changing the number of lines isn't recommended. Rather change the X-resolution.
modeline "1024x576-50i" 20,79 1024 1072 1176 1328 576 580 584 626 interlace -hsync -vsync
modeline "896x512-60i" 18,37 896 928 1024 1152 512 514 520 536 interlace -hsync -vsync

Awesome! Thanks SailorSat!
Both those modes worked but, unfortunately, the funky video processing on my Loewe Cantus makes a mess of things. The 896x512 looks weird and while the 1024x576 looks better, 720x480 still looks nicer for some reason. I don't know what's going on inside the TV but it's obviously doing something unfriendly to those modes. They actually look chunkier than the lower resolutions.
Are there any other 16:9 modes I can try?
I guess I'll have to try these on a different 16:9 CRT when I get a chance...

Hello SailorSat!
Having problems again, those time unexpected -_-.
Finally, drop the idea of using a nvidia, and buyed a cheap Ati Radeon HD 4770, GDDR5. I thought that with the Ati there was no problem using Softh15khz... but it does not work with my card.
The older catalyst drivers that I can use is 9.5. When I install the 15khz, reboot the system, and the card still is using 31khz.
Any idea? I've been searching in this forum and others, and all the information I get is that it should work... but it does not.
Thanks for your help!
SailorSat:
Hm... That's actually strange.
You DO get all the lowres resolutions via quickres?

Oh my God.
When I changed the resolution with Quickres, i was seeing it on the TV. :'( I've been fooling for two days with it before asking, and it was that simple...
Thanks a lot SailorSat :notworthy:
