What about starting the X server with "-dpi 100" instead of messing with
DisplaySize?

By the way, I mentioned earlier in a different thread that the only bad
thing about my setup was the unreadable fonts of the Myth UI. Well,
turns out that by lucky chance I started the frontend with "-dpi 100"
for the X server and all of the sudden everything looked perfect! I
couldn't believe it.

So, yes, it is possible to get decent TV out using a GeForce 4MX. I was
seriously doubting it was possible.
