I'm very interested in the description of the this problem you see when
doing 1080i over a DVI/HDMI cable. I'll have to look at it again, but
it seems that what you are describing is exactly what I see on my Ti4200
doing the same thing. I haven't looked at it in a while, but I always
found it hard to describe the problem. Usually I just ended up calling
it "messed up." But I could still sort of make out images, like the
nvidia logo, etc. I'm hopeful that someone will figure this out... I'd
hate to have to buy a VGA-component converter when there's an all
digital option...
