Installation issues / Re: Cable setup woes

Update:
If I do not have a CRT monitor plugged in, and only the DVI out to HDMI in, the PC wont boot at all. I am currently using ATI Radeon 9800 PRO and a Westinghouse Digital Electronics (model: LTV-32w6 HD) television, running 1152x648 resolution.

This isn't DRM coming to bite me in the ass is it?

3) After connecting my Linux box to my tv via DVI out to HDMI in it takes around 3-5 minutes just to boot to Ubuntu. I have no ideas what's going on with this, as if I connect a regular CRT monitor it seems to boot at its 'normal' speed.

For whatever reason, as long as I have a CRT monitor plugged in, I can boot with normal times, even with the DVI -> HDMI plugged in. However, Once I unplug my CRT monitor, it goes back to taking for ever to boot.

Hey all,
I'm fairly new to linux still (been using it for about a month now) and I'm very interested in getting my LinuxMCE up and going. However, I have three problems.

1) LinuxMCE is using the wrong resolution for my television (I need it to use 1152x648) and I do not have the option in the list. So, atm, everything is a greenish color (what should be black I assume) and of course the options are hard to navigate since everything is mashed together.

2) I'm not sure how to setup the cabling. Currently, it looks pretty much like this:
Coaxial from wall -> Comcast reciever -> From Comcast reciever: To VCR -> LinuxMCE
That doesnt seem to work, as I am getting no video in my LinuxMCE box.

3) After connecting my Linux box to my tv via DVI out to HDMI in it takes around 3-5 minutes just to boot to Ubuntu. I have no ideas what's going on with this, as if I connect a regular CRT monitor it seems to boot at its 'normal' speed.

Any tips/help/link would be great!
