Ok not enough coffee I guess. I meant to say I have DVI output connected 
to HDMI on the TV.  BTW if anyone has the modeline (or can tell me a 
nice X tool for changing modelines) for a HD-61Z575 I would appreciate 
it.  My 720p image gets its edges cut off (equals about 1 line of text 
in console mode, so if you can tell me how to underscan the console that 
would be great too)
