The proprietary nvidia driver rejects all of the other modes. :(

As I said in my original email, I'm using the "recommended" values of 
30-50 for HorizSync and 60 for VertRefresh. I'm sure these are the "safe" 
recommendations for analog-type TVs in the US, but I have an email to apex 
waiting for an answer for what will hopefully be more reasonable values.

I know the TV can do 800x600 and tuning the modeline should fix some of 
the squashing that I see. I would like to be able to run in a higher 
resolution tho.

Cool. I think this might be the best all-around option anyway. 

Thanks for the advice.
