[mythtv-users] Monitor issues

The small fonts were due to the 340 driver not recognizing the screen
sizes.  I switched to the 304 driver and at least the monitor had 1280
resolution again.  The driver did recognize that there were two monitors
plugged in but when I switched the display to the TV, nothing showed up
except for a message saying the signal was "unsupported".  I switched to
the X-org driver and rebooted with just the TV in and I still get
unsupported signal so I have once again made Myth unusable.

I tried to look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf again to see if there were clues
there but that file is now gone.  I did not delete it.

This is frustrating.
