Pretty cool, just started using it on my epia m10k.  One thing I
noticed is that the positioning is wrong, too far up and to the left. 
I'm running at 1280x720, maybe it doesn't play well with 16:9? 
Anyway, it isn't a show stopper for me, I like having a usable color
osd.

Thanks for all the work on it.
