Thank you for the reply.   I thought in the past when I tried changing the
resolution with powerstrip to anything much off of 1080i, I TV lost signal
despite following the directions to keep the frequencies where they needed
to be.  I am outputting directly to component out on my video card but I am
not sure that would matter.  I will try your settings.   If that doesn't
work, I'll see if I can get that resolution to work on my TV with the
xltiming.pl approach.  Thanks for the advice!
