Actually, this was something I was going to tackle next week after I am
done using my laptop for a webcast this weekend where it needs to be
rock-solid stable.  That's the only reason I know about the 6 or 7
surfaces - I had already started doing research.  But since my laptop
has a 1280x800 screen it would be great for playback of HDTV content. 
Keep on trying to get this to work - I'll try to join you next week.

Could anyone tell me what needs to be done to run this experimental
chromakey OSD?
