I have a similar setup, though my tv has a physical resolution of |
| 8 |
1366x768 it only allows up to 1360x768 over the vga in and only tv norms |
| 9 |
over hdmi, you might need to check your manual to see what resolutions |
| 10 |
it will do. |

For the Modeline you should use gtf which comes with xorg like that: |
| 12 |
ie. gtf 1360 768 60 |
| 13 |
That is the only modeline calculator that ever worked right for me. |
| 14 |
It might also be necessary to check for the polarity, which I needed to |
| 15 |
change in my modeline. |
| 16 |
Here it is just for completeness sake, maybe it works for your tv too, if |
| 17 |
not following the above steps should put you there. |
| 18 |
You could also try it with a smaller resolution first, just to be sure |
| 19 |
it works at all. |
| 20 |
Hope that helps. |
