I am using 1024x768 on a 15+ year old Mitsubishi 29" CRT .<br>
<br>
Here is my xorg.conf; copy the lines <i>between</i> the # start file
and the # end file<br>

Cheers <br>

X configs are a bit complicated if you need to customise them. We<br>
need a bit more information. First, are you using the accelerated<br>
Nvidia drivers for your card (and if so what version), or the open<br>
source nv drivers, or even the Vesa drivers? Second, what is your<br>
current /etc/X11/xorg.conf file? Have you modified it at all?<br>
<br>
Below is the XF86Config-4 file I used to use with my old CRT TV and<br>
S-Video under KnoppMyth. It should be similar to what you want for<br>
your xorg.conf file for TV output, but TV output is 720x576 - it would<br>
need to be adjusted to do 1024x768. I am not sure if an old CRT will<br>
do 1024x768 anyway - I would have thought that resolution was a bit<br>
more than it could cope with and even if it worked, everything would<br>
be too small and fuzzy.<br>
<br>
Also, an 9500 GT card will do VDPAU acceleration and for that you need<br>
to be using Nvidia driver version 180 (reasonably stable) or above<br>
(reportedly less stable, but I have not tried 185 or 190).<br>

<div>Excuse the edit ;)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yeah the usual culprit is overscan or not setting the best
resolution for analogue.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So for anyone still using Composite or SVIdeo are you using a
native PAL resolution or using 800x600 or 1024x768</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For myPVR we went with 720x576 flagged as 4:3 which generally
provided the best picture quality for naive pal broadcasts.</div>
