I have to agree with Joe.  There is evidence that the 1080i video output
is being improperly handled by the nVidia driver, such that you're
actually only seeing one field.  But I use a 1920x540p mode with
software (bob) deinterlacing and it looks great on my CRT.  I imagine
nVidia will get interlaced video output working properly at some point,
and I'll have to reevaluate.
