the day before i messed w/ myth (or owned an hdtv) ..

i don't really care about that, since i had to go thru the xorg.conf
file manually to get hdtv-out working the way i wanted to ... i actually
somewhat prefer nvidia's way of doing it, because i'm yet to figure out
what all the crap the ATI drivers put in the xorg.conf file mean :S
(yes, i'm a control-freak geek and want to know what all those settings
mean! :P)
