Everything worked great using the standard composite cables: Both dashboards, DVDs, games, everything. Then I got the component cables made by Monster Cable.
Now with these cables there are certain instances in which there's no video image whatsoever (just a black screen). If I go into the video settings and enable 480p, 720p, or 1080i in UnleashX, UnleashX will not appear on the screen. If I try to play a game, there will be no image (I'm assuming the Xbox detects HD cables and automatically goes to 480p). If I start XMBC, there will be no image; hell, if I start my NES emulator the same thing happens.
DVDs still work, so I assume it's playing those in 480i.
I know my TV will accept these resolutions over component because I have prog-scan DVD players, a PS2, and the HD cable box that all work fine with it.
Has anyone heard of this happening before? Do I perhaps have some weird setting? I really don't want to be stuck with regular a/v cables. The situation really bites because I can't even play a game if I want to now.

I'm using UnleashX as my default dashboard and XBMC as an additional application. It's the setup described in this article: http://lifehacker.co...nter-299809.php
