Exactly.  Howard's the one who knows what to do here, but he's a
strapped resource, and there's tons the rest of us can do in the mean
time.

That's interesting, but it wouldn't leave you with a 50/50 duty cycle.
 This could be a problem for the DVI transmitters, which are DDR.

I'm going to get in touch with Howard and find out how he got it to work.
