ok, so for the sake of the argument, I NEED this to work. I'll do anything to get it work (and already have)

I bought a 32'' 1080p tv to be an external monitor for my IbookG4. I need to hook it up via HDMI to even get the 1080p. I bought a $100 converter to get VGA to HDMI output with HDCP. 1080 didn't show up on my list, and the highest I can get is 1280x1024. I then bought DisplayConfigX and installed to get the resolution, and i still get the same thing. My vid card is a
ATIRadeon9700 pro mac edition, and should be able to go up to 1920. I've had a monitor hooked up via vga before that put out 1600x1100.

I just have no idea how to get this work. any help would be great. THANKS!

ps: I've also already run that program that make 2 monitors instead of just mirroring the 1
