I have no modelines defined in my monitor section. That was my meaning
in my first post in that they are defined as part of the driver
package. I'm making the assumption that the Nvidia folks realized that
people were connecting their cards to HDTV (and SDTV's as well) and
defined modelines for these specific uses using the HDTV standards for
output.

As for PAL/NTSC, I think they did create default modelines for SDTV
resolutions as well, but I'm not sure, its something better asked on
the nvnews.com forums (the unofficial official nvidia drivers for
linux forum).
