This works, but I have to change to 'full' mode manually each time I
switch to the Myth input on the TV, because it thinks it's a 4:3
picture. (The TV allows you to set your default mode for a 4:3 picture,
but only among a couple of options, neither of which is right.)

Seems that I need to tell the TV that it's a widescreen picture.
I gather that widescreen signalling in the picture should do that. Is it
possible to configure the NVidia driver to output that?

I should just get around to connecting via VGA/RGBHV, which should make
this moot.
