Rich,<br><br>Thanks for the reply. Yes, the new plasma has a VGA "PC" input. <br><br>Here is the xorg.conf I've been running with my old TV connected with S-video. I wondered if it needed some changes because nowhere does it specify the resolution of my new plasma. The highest resolution called out is 1024x768...
