Well, not excactly, in my case.  If I am in KDE, and open up a terminal (which on my system/theme has a white background) it never shows up.  If I go into MythMusic and let the visualizations run, those with a black background usually won't show it either, unless the screen is mostly black.  Same with watching a DVD.  The black screens between titles that are common at the start and end of movies, it shows, as soon as a lighter screen comes up, it goes away.  Using Tililvitus (sp?) theme in the MythTV menus, it never shows up.

That's kind of what made me think it was black levels.  Perhaps the TV thinks all black (or mostly black) is an unselected input (as if something were off or something).

One other thing I have in mind to try is inverting my hsync and/or vsync.  I know one of the modelines I tried took a -hsync and still displayed.  Maybe that's what's triggering it.  With bowl games playing (don't get me started about the TN game scheduled recording QVC instead) it won't be until Wednesday before I can work on it.
