Thanks for the update Ma Ling.  My Pioneer is working well with a GTF
generated 1280x720 at 50hz modeline.

I must say that the general quality of the 2.5.99.1 Intel driver is
great.  I have been exercising XV heavily using MythTV.  Everything is
working perfectly including vblank (on the hardware overlay).  I just
need to get stereo HDMI working.  Currently I have left channel audio
only.  I think I need an ALSA patch.  It is mentioned here:

Thanks for the (Free) support :-)  Much appreciated.

Mike.
