Can you explain your answer about question #4... I'm confused about
that web page link: http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/mythhd.php

If I have a DVI connection to my HDTV monitor, do I have to worry
about  the:
        Mode "960x540p"
                DotClock 37.26
                HTimings 960 976 1008 1104
                VTimings 540 542 548 563
                Flags "+HSync" "+VSync"
        EndMode

sections that he gets into? My HDTV Monitor is treated like a
LCD display on my gnome desktop. I just have:
Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen1"
        Device     "Videocard1"
        Monitor    "Monitor1"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1360x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection
for my section... am I 'missing' something?

Thanks - jack
