I thought I read a discussion that implied that it was unclear if anyone
had gotten an DVI-HDMI connection to work, at least in interlace mode.  

I looked back at recent posts from you and didn't see anything where you
revealed the modelines you are using.  Can you share them?  I was able
to get my Ti4200 to do DVI-HDMI to work at 720p, with hideous overscan
but was never able to get a viewable 1080i resolution.

Thanks,
