  Looking back at what's commented out in my xorg.conf file, I tried the
following:

#       DisplaySize  672 378
#       DisplaySize  16 9
#       DisplaySize  160 90

  With each of these I saw some scaling (which broke interlacing, IIRC)
and xdpyinfo reported a different size to the one in the config file.
I'll give your setting a shot when I get a chance, though.

  Out of curiosity, do you find that xdpyinfo reports the correct
display size?
