Heh - if it's the 20-step post I'm thinking of, it might have been
mine.  ;)  Note - the steps are a *one* time occurence.  And you don't
need to buy PowerStrip.  Just download it and it'll work.  As an
alternative, by the way, if you just want a 540p modeline, you could
also use the gtf command.  But it may bave been coincidence that it gave
me the same 960x540p modeline.  I had to go through the steps to get
1920x540.

Kinda makes you wish there was a "KnoppWindows" for these situations,
eh? ;)

Yep - Which is why you need to go through the steps to see what works
for you.  I made sure (and might have listed in the steps) to disable
twinview and clone mode.

Look at it this way - if you've got a spare small hard drive, you're
golden.  Besides, ever upgrade a Tivo?  Sucks at first, but the results
are quite satisfying, no?  Well, this is *much* better. ;)
