Don't feel bad... we have all spent hours troubleshooting things that
seemed really obvious in hindsight.

I once spent the better part of a weekend trying to get my tv to work over
HDMI.  Worked fine with VGA connected, I'd make a change to my xorg config,
shutdown, unplug the VGA cable, plug in the hdmi, switch the tv input,
power on and nothing... over and over.  Finally realized that my HDMI cable
wasn't plugged into the tv... there was an HDMI cable plugged in there...
but I had grabbed a new, longer, cable and never routed it and connected it
to the tv.
