i finally took the plunge and downloaded the nvidia driver from their 
website, i had really hoped to be able to just stick with the built-in X 
stuff, but oh well.

it compiled and installed remarkably easy, and i thought 'wow, something 
went smoothly here, pretty cool'.  yeah, right.  after figuring out i 
needed to load a kernel module first, i can get X loading, but it 
doesn't work, it just hangs the system at some point i the startup (i 
know the config is ok, starting with only the monitor activated is 
fine).  i was getting further with the regular nv driver and nvtv.  i 
guess i'm going to forget about trying to get linux working on a tv and 
just continue working on the configurable key bindings.  oh well, it was 
a nice idea.

thanks,
