Do you really want this? I know it's great to have flexibility but I'm
wondering if this is worth doing?

I can think of the scenario if you send the Slim a single line of text
in the OSD message when it is in double height mode it could leave it,
but if you send it 2 lines, in this mode it would adjust the display
height to normal size momentarily.

Any votes for this? If there are I can certainly support any ways
anybody out there requires.

'tis done. Works great, both in on and off modes, however you've got the
Slim
configured.

As a result of this you can now query any Slim's current transport
power status, which I had neglected to implement before.

>3, disable osd if set to double height ( not sure about this one)

Any votes for this one? Like yourself that seems the least useable to
me.

I'll do this for you tomorrow.

If anybody wants to try an early version of this stuff, shout and
stomp at me.
