[solved] Tearing Problem / Refresh Rate

Hey,
i have a huge tearing problem. Watching movies is a real torture.
I think it's the refresh rate. The recommended refresh rate for my display is 60Hz (@1920x1080p). But i can only choose 50Hz in the XFCE settings (link).
Anyone can say how to change this to 60Hz? If any configs or hardware specifications are needed, please let me know.

It's a nvidia 8800 GTS.
If I choose Resolution: Auto in nvidia-settings I can only use Refresh Rate: 50Hz in XFCE settings.
If I choose Resolution: 1920x1080 60Hz in nvidia-settings I can use Refresh Rate: 50Hz or 122Hz in XFCE settings.
Here the monitor part of xorg.conf:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "AOC 2795E"
HorizSync 30.0 - 83.0
VertRefresh 55.0 - 75.0
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Sync to VBlank is always enabled in nvidia-settings.
But tearing anyway...

Quicktime Video on an LCD Projector Problems & Refresh Rate?

I'm having an issue and don't have a lot of experience with this but hopefully someone has some insight.
When i play back video (formats including DV, DV50, HDV, PRORES422 / interlaced or progressive / frame rates of 23.98 or 29.97) in full screen using Quicktime Player (version 7.4.5) and Present (Shift CMD F) to a projector, the video plays and looks good, with the exception of during certain portions of the video (generally, with a lot of motion), i see either a flicker or what appears to be a scan line, tear, or a trace that scrolls vertically up the image. The flickering/trace is consistent with regard to a particular portion of the video, though when i adjust the refresh rate for the projector, the behavior of the flicker or scrolling trace changes (say at 60hz, it scrolls slowly up vs 85hz where i see mostly flickering/tearing of the image or multiple traces scrolling up). I've tried 3 different projectors, and every combination of screen resolution and refresh rate with no success.
I should point out that when i play these videos full screen on a cinema display (20in or 23in) i don't see this behavior at all.
So, i have a few specific questions:
1. Is anyone familiar with this behavior and any solutions?
2. The projector is connected with a VGA cable and DVI adapter. Might a DVI cable resolve the issue? Is the behavior a result of the analog input? (The cinema displays are connected via DVI and don't exhibit the behavior)
3. If it is a projector issue, any recommendations on a good projector for presenting video played back from a computer?
Thanks in advance for your help. If i've posted in the incorrect forum, please do direct me to the right place.
Shane

Just a fast reply... something to think about...
Use 60hz, most lcd are 60hz. Check you resolution specs for the projector. If the native resolution is 800x600 use that setting if higher use that.....
If your using the lcd as a secondary display try setting the main display to the same specs. Sometime a mismatch between the two displays can cause problems.
Go with the lcd spec settings that's the main priority and the main display isn't.

Ti4200-VTD8X (MS-8894) refresh rate problem

I upgrade my Geforce3 Ti200 VGA to Ti4200-VTD8X (MS-8894). My monitor is Samsung SyncMaster 955b (19").
My problem is: I can not get refresh rate 1280/1024 85 Hz (This is the recomended rate of this monitor). I have instaled the newest monitor driver.
Ah.. I have a 2nd problem. My OS is Win XP prof. In the "display properties" window there is a place called "MSI information". In that window nearly all my VGA properties are wrong. It saya my memory is 32MB and SDRAM. AND i can not change the check boxes there. Can you please help me to solve my problems.
Thank you,

drtolga,
If you want to be able to have the hidden functions, create a file with notepad and put this in it.

Save it as agpsetting.reg to your desktop or anywhere you like. Then run it and it will give you all the hidden options from nVidia which include extra Resolution settings for your desktop and overclocking for both the memory and core.

PowerMac G4 533DA & HDTV - video resolution / refresh rate problem

Hope someone can help, I need to access more resolution / refresh rates than I currently get in the Leopard display control:
I have a PowerMac G4 533 Digital Audio running Leopard 10.5.8 (unsupported). It has an upgraded AGP videocard, a ( flashed PC - RV200 chipset) Radeon 7500 w/ 64MB and a DVI output w/ a VGA adapter. I have used this Mac perfectly with my 19" widescreen Samsung SyncMaster 940BW, at a resolution of 1440 x 900 / 60Hz / millions of colors. This monitor is actually for my MacPro, but I used it for the G4 to set it up.
I moved it to my living room to use as a basic HTPC. Since it runs Leopard, it has up to date VLC, Quicktime for video files and a working Superdrive for movies. I don't expect it to play anything more than 480p properly, I think that was the best I got on YouTube. But if I have a DVD ripped to DivX or MP4 it plays them fine on the Samsung monitor.
I connected it to my Viewsonic N3760w 37" 1080 HDTV. It turns on, gray screen w/ Apple and gives me a working desktop. The problem is that I cannot get it to give me the correct resolution and more importantly it seem to have the wrong refresh rate. It is currently set at 1280 x 768 / 60Hz / millions of colors. The screen give me like a small line slowly moving up across screen, higher refresh rates only make it movie faster up the screen.
According to my Viewsonic, these are the resolutions for computer using the VGA plug on the tv:
PC - 1360x768 (preferred) , 1024x768, 1280x768
Mac G3/G4/G5 - up to 1280 x 1024, 1280x720 (preferred)
Please note all of these are lower resolution than my Samsung monitor. My Viewsonic also has on screen adjustment of " phase " and " frequency " as well as the usual color, contrast, etc available. Is there a 3rd party app to manually adjust the resoluion and refresh rate? I have seen Windows programs, does one exist for Mac OS X?
TIA, sorry for the long post

My Viewsonic also connected by VGA, no problem.
I wish I knew more. I checked out the app you did a trial of. I noticed this statement on their web site: Quote
"After rebooting monitor stays blank
For some reason your monitor does not accept the installed frequency. SWITCH IT OFF!"
This is the type of statement that would 'worry me.' -- having the phrase: SWITCH IT OFF! all in caps seems to imply a possibility of damage...which I mentioned in my initial post. (and the site goes on to talk about how you should even then connect another monitor to change the settings you've made that were not accepted).
As I said, though, I wish I knew more for sure about this. It seems that you not only did the obvious of checking System Peferences>Display, but also realize the Viewsonic has buttons that can influence it's screen image, most about position of the image on the screen but at least one item about resolution on mine. (under Setup Mode)
For what it's worth, my Viewsonic is about 6 years old now, still fine, and has eight (8) possible resolutions shown in System Preferences.
Re: Your numbers.
It is currently set at 1280 x 768 / 60Hz / millions of colors.
PC - 1360x768 (preferred) , 1024x768, 1280x768
Mac G3/G4/G5 - up to 1280 x 1024, 1280x720 (preferred)
If you're only talking about a difference of 1280 x 768 and G4 1280 x 1024, perhaps just stretching the picture using the Viewsonic buttons is the way to go.
Or, from the numbers, perhaps the G4 just wants a resolution closest to it's preferred state!?
Anyhow, good luck.

Refresh rate problem with external 20 inch acer

I am having issues hooking up an external montior via the dvi to vga dongle. The refresh rate seems shaky and the only refresh rate the computer gives me is 59.9 ?
I recently had my logic board replaced and am not sure if this was an issue prior.
thanks in advance.

I've isolated the issue only happening when using taxing apps like photoshop. Seems to happen when the fans kick in.
could this be an interference problem or possibly heat isssue?

Problem with ATV refresh rates and frame rates

I live in Australia and as such I am subject to PAL, so when I set my ATV up I set it to 720P 50Hz, when I purchased a TV season the episodes were running at 25fps and played back flawlessly with no dropped or added frames. My problem occurs when I download movies, all the movies I have bought are running at 24fps and suffer from quite noticeable jitter, almost like the 24th frame is duplicated and added as the 25th frame, I assume it is something like this as the pause happens every second.
So has anyone had a problem similar to this and if so what do you do about it?
Does the ATV playback all sources (24/25) smoothly even if it has to convert?
Could it be caused by my TV?
Any help to any of these questions would be great.
Thanks.
Tim.

With my particular Apple TV setup and TV combination, I find that setting to 1080p (60hZ) gives my the best all-round round results.
This does result in -slightly- jerky motion with 25fps material (especially old British TV shows), but it's bearable. It's particularly noticeable with sideways scrolling text and credits.
The one thing that is peculiar on my setup is if I use 720p (either @60hz or 50hz) and watch an iTunes-purchased HD episode that is encoded at 24fps I get very odd motion effects indeed. Every few seconds the video appears to speed up almost like it is 'catching up' with lost frames - very hard to explain exactly how it looks. Anyway I set to 1080p and this effect is gone completely. It also goes away if I set to 1080i. I think something queer is going on with 720p on the Apple TV (at least with my TV there is). This happens with both HDMI and component outputs.
It may be worth trying 1080i at either 50 or 60Hz if your set can't do 1080p.
I would also suggest that 60hz in theory should give a smoother motion for 24fps playback than 50Hz.
My basic problem with all this is that on even a cheap DVD player if a disk is 50Hz, the player switches to 50Hz output and if it is 60Hz, it will change to 60Hz. The Apple TV stays fixed. It's a shame it can't autoswitch refresh rates.

Solaris8+patch display refresh rate problem

I have installed the 109401-05 video patch for Solaris8 to update the video
card drivers. But now at 1600x1200 screen resolution the maximum display
refresh rate is always 60Hz, altough higher settings in kdmconfig. The behaviour is similar at 1280x1024, but the max. rate is 80Hz. I have tryed
this with the ATI Xpert2000pro and Xpert98 graphic cards.
Without the patch the refresh rate is OK (with the Xpert98 card). The
motherboard is Abit KT7.
Does anybody know what could be the problem?
Thanks, Albin

Hmm, if the refresh rate was OK before you installed the 109401-05
video driver patch, why don't you uninstall that patch? Or do you
need some other bugfix included in 109401-05?
Otherwise the 60Hz problem problem with certain old ATI cards is not unknown to me:
See this Solarisonintel posting for a possible solution.

GeForce2 GTS refresh rate problem

I have a GeForce2 GTS (MSI Starforce 815) running on an IWill KK266 (KT133A chipset) and a Sony GDM-400PS monitor. My problem is that when I set the refresh rate to "optimal" it runs at 60hz. This is a problem because my eyes are really sensitive to the flicker. I can set the refresh manually to a higher static refresh rate, and I can then switch back to "optimal" and it will adjust properly to a higher refresh rate but upon reboot it converts back to 60hz (although setting still says optimal.) I have several other non MSI GeForce2 GTS cards and they don't have this problem.
Anyone have any ideas?
To help weed out the suggestions:
-running 350W Enermax PS, more then enough
-running Win98SE (don't tell me to switch operating systems please)
-Sony 400PS well within spec
-have run 3 sets of Detonator drivers currently 40.72 same problem with all
-I know I can set it to run at a static 75 or 85Hz but I prefer to have it adjust to the optimal setting for my usage.
Thanks for any help!

beavercleaver,
I always set the monitors at 85hz. It is a great frame rate that is really easy on the eyes.
Take Care,
Richard

Refresh Rate in X Windows (SOLVED)

I set up an xorg.conf and it recognizes the attached monitor, but it displays with a refresh rate of 60. I would like the refresh rate of 76. In the radeon driver's output, it states that it recognizes the monitor can handle 1280x1024 at 76. Does anyone know what I need to change so I can get the higher refresh rate?
I am guessing that this is the reason for the poor display quality.

I do have DDC. It correctly recognizes the monitor. The problem is that the monitor operates both at 60 Hz and 76 Hz. I'm guessing the low-quality image is due to the fact that it is running at 60 Hz.

Problems getting a higher framebuffer refresh rate

Hello everyone just changed from Gentoo to Arch
Anyway here is my problem, I usually use a framebuffer resolution of 1280x1024-32@75. I used to use a Nvidia BFG Geforce Ti4200SE 128MB and it had no problem of booting into the above resolution. I recently upgraded to a Nvidia Chaintech Geforce 6600 GT 128MB AGP and since then the refresh rate stays at 60 regardless of the resolution (tried 1024x768). In Xorg the refresh rate does change to 75.
Solutions I have tried are:
Patching my kernel with the vesafb-tng patch and setting my resolution and refresh rate in the kernel, but that didn't work.
Using fbset, found this on gentoo forums.:

Some thoughts...
how much is calibration? how much is that TV?
some say TV's should be calibrated again after 6 months of usage where the TV has had some break-in. How much is that second calibration???
some say they just run on theatre or cinema mode to save costs
some say they don't like the calibration and flip back to the normal, bright or vivid mode. Personally I hate to see the highlights punched out and looseing detail for the brightness
some purchase Spyder or XRite calibration tools
some will use Apps to do their own calibration (note you need a cable or a wireless box), however you don't want someone who is colorblind making those calibration decisions (like me)

When shopping for a TV I visited several retailers. For the stores who calibrated their displays.... I had a tough time deciding which one to get because they were ALL good. I could not tell which one was LCD, LED, or Plasma. Yes calibration is worth it, but how much do you want to spend?

Rate Limiting - Will Content Engine 590 solve my problem?

We have a Cache Engine 550 deployed in our network which is great for reducing traffic on the Link to the Internet, however I have now run into a little problem with the device as we are now trying to implement Bandwidth Shaping using the existing Cisco infrastructure and thus the Cisco IOS.
One of the IOS features concerned is Committed Access Rate (CAR).
We would like to do some traffic shaping according to certain IP Protocols such as FTP, HTTP as well as rate limiting certain of our customers (IP Blocks) so that they dont saturate the Serial link to our ISP.
The problem we have is that the Cache Engine 550 replaces the original requestors IP with its own as it (the CE) now takes over as the requestor to the Internet thus we have all HTTP traffic via our ISP having the source as that of the Cache Engine.
Due to this we cannot Rate-Limit a particular customer (IP range).
Question-------
Does the Content Engine 590 (ACNS, ICDN) enable me to complete my task and control the Serial connection the way I would like to?
Can I do a sort of IP Spoofing so that the original IP is still in place, but the Content Engine still does its job of Caching?
I have already looked at the Packeteer unfortunately it only has Ethernet ports.
The WiseWan 401 with HSSI port looked promising, but I feel that even though it will do great shaping and graphs it will still not solve the problem of a saturated link upstream to the ISP (from the boxes point of view), I will still sit with packets being dropped and thus bandwidth wasted.
Anyone out there with any other solution?
Thanks in advance.
Lutz.

Hi,
We have just implemented IP spoofing in version 4.2 of ACNS code. (Caching) which will only run on a 590/560/507/7320 cache.
Version 4.2 sould be available at the end of July early August. This will slove you problem with identifing traffic to rate limit.
Cheers
Phil

Problems with Flash Player Refresh Rate

Hi,
I am having problems when I play embedded flash videos on sites such as Youtube and Todaysbigthing. The refresh rate is very low, to the point where it looks like its just picutres vertically scrolling across the screen, I tried installing both the pacman package and the .tar.gz offered on their site (http://www.get.adobe.com/flashplayer), but the problem still persists.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Opera and IE use two different Plugins:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
I'd recommend downloading the Flash Player Uninstaller and running it to uninstall.
Then, go to C/Windows/System32/Macromed and delete the Flash folder if it's still there.
Next, go to C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed and delete the Flash folder if it's still there.
Open your Registry Editor. (Start>Run or press the WIndows key +R and type "regedit", then hit OK).
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE delete the Macromedia folder.
Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software delete the Macromedia folder.
After that, empty your recycle bin and then run the installers to replace Flash Player.
Also, visit: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp and run the Shockwave FULL installers for Internet Explorer/AOL and other browsers.

[SOLVED] Refresh rate, nvidia and Quake Live

I need help setting my monitor to 120HZ for 640*480, i have no idea how to do this using xorg.conf or nvidia-settings... nvidia-settings only shows as high as 85hz for this resolution. I'm not gonna be mean and say how simple doing this is in windows(guess i just did) Sorry ^^.
I'm using a ViewSonic E70 17" CRT monitor and a Geforce4 mx420 with the nvidia-96xx proprietary driver from the repos.
I really need 640*480 to get to 120 hz, should be simple enough!
Thanks!

If you look at the Nvidia docs it says in there somewhere why each monitor has a "unique" refresh rate. It boils down to X is too stupid to do real dual monitors. As a result, Nvidia presents to X two "separate" monitors; it differentiates them to X by using different refresh rates...thus you cannot (and should not even try) to set the monitors to use the same refresh rate.
I'd suggest using nvidia-utils or nvidia-setup (not sure of the name but it will autocomplete on the command line if you just type "nvidia-") to set up twinview or separate X sessions or whatever you want. It's easy to use and will even write an xorg.conf for you. Failing that, look at randr on the wiki.
i did nvidia-xconfig. and also activated the vsync in nvidia-settings. But no luck. Also when i chose seperate X in nvidia-settings my arch freezes. I am going to do a refresh install.

Whenever I start Diablo II it sets a werid Refresh Rate that causes my Monitor to be unable to display! Is there a way either in the xorg.conf or in Diablo II to specify a Refresh that must never be changed or safe ones that always must be met?

After the latest update with nvidia graphic's driver I had to add an entry in xorg.conf in order to force the apropriate refresh rate (for any resolution besides 1024x768)
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
Device "NVIDIa GeForce FX 5200"
Monitor "Belinea"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"
Option "metamodes" "1024x768_75 +0+0; 800x600_75 +0+0; 640x480_75 +0+0"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 8
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
What you need to add is: (If, of course it's not already there)
DefaultDepth 24
Option "TwinView" "0"
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "CRT-0"
Option "metamodes" "1024x768_75 +0+0; 800x600_75 +0+0; 640x480_75 +0+0"
