I’ve been using 349.16 on my Mint based HTPC (running mythtv). It’s been going very well but I wanted to move to a more recent kernel and 349.16 does not support newer kernel version. I’ve had my Xorg set up using the following guide:
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:JudderFree
Is this still relevant with newer drivers? When using the 349.16 drivers everything is fine in my Xorg.log:

Does how can I get the exact timing modes to work with the new drivers?
Thanks!
