Now, there is a video issue on this M3N78-VM motherboard...

I'm struggling with the onboard 8200 video and its ability to detect my
connected display device.  I've installed the 177.80 driver from atrpms.
Anyway, VGA works just fine.  Both DVI and HDMI work, but only if the cable
is directly connected to the TV.  If I connect the cable to a receiver
instead of the TV, the onboard display adapter does not detect anything.
This scenario worked fine before I upgraded to this board.  But then I was
using an AGP FX 5200 (or maybe it was FX-5500).

I did notice the myth menus paint VERY slowly with this new hardware.  I
assume this is a manifestation of the poor performance some have mentioned
previously.

Could there be some magical option inside xorg.conf that would fix the
display detect issue??  if not, maybe I'll just bite the bullet and get a
PCI-E 7200GS card or something similar.
