Don't you think you're oversimplifying a little? Yes, My TV does DVI,
but I get nada but flip/flip/flip... when using it. Maybe my TV requires
HDCP. I dunno.

I very thankfully got help getting 480p to work which is nice, and
finally tonight got into my service menu to correct Vsize. That's very
very nice...

However, 540p & 1080i == no go no matter what modeline. The specs of
this TV say those are OK, but what the hell!?

You think its so simple, or maybe you know its so simple, so can you
help?
