Thanks Michael, that was just a flub I meant 1080p. I know I shouldn't use the svideo out but it's what I've got now and I am going to be adding a new box that will use a better connection. Right now I mainly want to get my desktop and myth full screen on my 16:9 screen. I haven't played with linux at all on a 16:9 screen can someone give me some pointers I am suffering from to much info I think. Like how do I find my HorizSync or my VertRefresh. What modeline are you using and what lead you to using it? Thanks for the help
