Yeah I'm looking at upgrading as well but am holding out for something
that can playback HD without requiring a powerstation in the backyard to
run it.

The TV is a Toshiba 32WL48A, and the PC is a Via SP13000

The modeline in actual use is the "1368x768_60.00" one. Not sure why
I'm using that one instead of the 50Hz one, but hey it works :-)

Here is the interesting stuff from xorg.conf, hopefully it works the
same on your rig. 

Cheers,
Roger
