Hi Aaron

Can you try the following and post the results as an attachment

1. Shutdown X / GDM on your box

2. From the command line as root run

 startx -- -logverbose 6

The double "-" is important.

3. Exit X and copy /var/log/Xorg.0.log or whatever log file your distro
creates.

We should then see all of the video modes your TV is reporting.
