FYI: In 720p, the right dimensions for my GUI are 1152x672+64+25. In 1080i, the GUI dimensions are 1717x993+104+36. I'm currently running in 720p with the GUI dimensions manually set. The overscan isn't completely consistent, but it's within a few pixels. Of course, if I were using a VGA cable instead of a DVI cable, I would use the magic timings X modes to have a mode without overscan. Alas, that doesn't work with DVI. --PC
