Subject: Re: Crap! HDMI... :( Update...
Well...
Flabbergasted...

I installed last Kubuntu at home and everything worked as advertised.
Then I connected to the TV I bought as a monitor and DOESN'T $%&K!NG WORK!
8-(

Window$ works flawlessly, but Linux doesn't...

What's different between the TV at home and this one?
Beats me...
