Anyone here tried the timing solution?
Interlaced?

While I keep looking in ATI/AMD's direction, the drivers keep me from pulling the trigger. There Linux drivers aren't up to snuff despite the release to the open source community. With lower end cards having more than enough power to handle every HTPC duty, the real differentiators are things like drivers.

I installed the 5750 card yesterday.
I got 1080i@60 working fine with my old moome card (aside from the problems with HDCP that this card has)
But as predicted custom timings are gone in Powerstrip. I will try the procedure to force the timings I found, then switch back to RGBHV and hope it sticks.

Update ??
There's a low profile Sapphire HD5570 on sale for $89., I won't buy it if there's no custom resolution solution...
This one is supported in the new drivers that allow gamma adjustment, right ?

It would be nice to hear back from Ken if he had success with the new cards or not...
Personally, I'm glad to hear there is a solution for custom resolutions that is NOT Powerstrip, I've never gotten it to work nicely for me...OTOH, I've used that little custom resolution program for Intel graphics posted on the AVSForum, and it works BEAUTIFULLY, very simple, nice working little app. too bad there are so many compatibility issues between the Intel HD graphics solution and the various HD player programs and such. I think the image made by the Intel HD4500X is a tad sharper than either Nvidia or ATI, at least on my system it is...
