NTSC and PAL television is interlaced by definition. If the TV out
signal wasn't interlaced, your television wouldn't understand it.

Interlaced modes won't make any difference, because it won't change
what's going to the TV.

I'm not sure what the effect of the refresh rate is. (Bruce?)
I was running 72 Hz according to my X log, though now I'm running 50 Hz.
Both worked fine with the TV, but I don't know whether it was really 72
Hz output to the TV. I know that my TV would do 60 Hz (they are all
PAL/NTSC dual-mode here) but 72 Hz would be a stretch.
