Devin, 
Point taken  RTFW !  Certainly applies to me.   However, I want to point 
out that the source of the wiki entry is the op 76GTA's post which in 
turn was reprinted in the wiki.  Either way,  I missed it and fussed for 
two days trying to get higher res than 800x600.  If I missed it, I 
though many others would also,  so a quick reminder might be helpful.

BTW,   the latest iteration of MythTV .22/Mythbuntu 9.10 is the BEST 
ever.  Totally awesome.  Thanks a thousand times to you and your fellow 
devs.  I offer my gratitude and admiration of your technical skills  
until you are better paid.  Best wishes and Happy Holidays.
