[mythtvnz] X works, but Myth does not.

[Jonathan Hoskin]

I originally spent weeks trying to get HDMI working on my 42" with
Fedora. A great way to open the WAF balance.

In the end, I booted into Windows, used powerstrip (or something
similar, can't really remember) to find the actual mode properties
that worked under Windows. It was pretty easy to then translate this
into a modeline for Xorg.
