Thanks for the great info. I bought this card because other people on this forum were using it with HDMI. Oh well, I guess it just isn't compatible with my TV.
No, I don't have one at hand to test, but I could pick one up today. This wouldn't be a perfect solution for me because it wouldn't allow audio over HDMI. I plan to use this with Front Row.
Sorry, I'm not new to these kinds of forums either, it was just an oversight. Here is my hardware:
Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 Motherboard
Gigabyte HD5770 Graphics Card
The TV is an older 720p LG 42PC3D Plasma with a native resolution of 1024x768. My Monitor is an Asus VW246H.
Also I noticed that when the TV is connected, I do not have a transparent menu bar and Expose does not work at all. The system becomes somewhat unstable as well, with Safari crashing repeatedly. This happens on my main install and on another fresh installation.
I installed the ATI Experimental bootloader and everything works fine on my monitor through DVI, but my TV with HDMI is getting no picture. There is a picture right through the boot screen with the apple logo, and as soon as the other monitor goes to the desktop, the TV goes blank and flashes...

I'm not sure if this has been posted or if it is common knowledge, but I have discovered a cool way to get your CPU to max out, which is good for testing cooling and stability. If you open a terminal window and type yes > /dev/null it will bring one core of your CPU to 100%. If you have a CPU...
Re: 10.6.3 released
I actually got impatient and went ahead and installed it. Everything seems to be working perfectly except all my internal hard drives are now showing up orange as if they are external drives. I haven't run into any other issues.
Whenever I use expose the animation is very choppy the first time, then all subsequent times I use it it is very smooth. If I wait a minute or so then use it again, it becomes choppy again.
I am using the DSDT acceleration method and I have an Nvidia GTS 250. Any ideas?
