Hi Alex

I tried this this morning, using the latest version from git trunk.

It does not help. In fact it is worse. When i unblank the digital
screen it shows the analogue signal, but the colours are all messed
up. Dark red is Orange, blue is white, but white is white and black is
black.

The digital signal is O.K. once i reset my monitor to use it.

Any ideas how to proceed so that when i unblank i get just the digital
signal?
    
    Thanks
