What should I look for regarding dbus? It looks like it is running: ps ax | grep dbus 966 ? Ss 0:03 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --system 1297 ? S 0:00 dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session 1298 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-daemon --fork --print-pid 5 --print-address 7 --session Where do I get an example file for the extra-hdmi.conf? I am not sure how to set this up. Thanks for any additional help. -Borries
