As far as I know, the only thing that "enables" progressive support is in the dashboard options. Without turning on the switches for 480p (or higher) games will still only display in 480i even if you have a component cable hooked up to an HDTV. I would assume the same would be true for a VGA cable. But by simply leaving the options turned on and using a VGA cable hopefully will make it work.

Anyway, the latest posts I've read on xboxhacker and gamesx tells me nobody has actually gotten it working (including Lawrence from gamesx). I quickly hacked up my HD/AV cable last night and also couldn't get it to work :-(. Back to the drawing board.

: :You cannot even turn on progressive support until you have a component cable plugged in and activate the options in the dashboard.

: I haven't played with this (yet) so I can't confirm or deny their findings, but did it occur to you that the combination of the mode lines being grounded in the cable might be what tells the Xbox to allow enabling of progressive suport?

: Just a thought.
