[mythtvnz] display on analog widescreen tvs

It's been a while since I set mine up, but from memory, the important
parts of xorg.conf are:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "6600GT"
        Driver          "nvidia"
	#PAL mode so that we don't need to do deinterlacing in myth
        Option      "TVStandard" "PAL-G"
        Option      "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
        Option      "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	(...)
	DisplaySize 260 146 #Correct for 720x576 16:9
EndSection

Also, watch out for -dpi 100 being passed to X in one of the launch scripts.

The card identifies the screen as 1024x768. Is this the best resoultion to choose? Picture quality is pretty awful. Also do I just use the overscan to convert from what looks like a 4:3 display to 16:9???
