I think I've isolated the problem. I have an output-to-TV component that requires 800x600 screen resolution to work. My normal screen resolution is 1024x768. It works fine in 1024x768, but when I switch to 800x600 to use the video component, it's jumpy. What would cause that? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
