Thanks for replying, Georg. 
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.
