[mythtv-users] Nvidia driver: Not using mode "720x576" (not a valid TV mode)

[David]

It bloody is!

So why does it say it isn't?

I've upgraded to the latest Nvidia driver (the replacement mb arrived 
and I almost had it working before _she_ got home!)

In the Xfree logs it says:
<snip less useful stuff>

(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 640 x 480

So why is it just ignoring my modelines?

It's working fine at 640x480 but I'd like it to use the full 720x576.
