Sorry, you're well outside my area of knowledge at this point (and as
you can ruin your tv by sending it improper modelines you probably
don't want to listen to the words of an amateur).  Having said that,
this person http://mezzanines.blogspot.com/2006/08/optimising-for-edtv-progressive-output.html)
managed to get 50Hz progressive working via a vga-scart cable and an
Ati card.  The bad news is that he was using a plasma with a
resolution of 856x488 so I doubt that's much help.  The other place to
ask is avs forums as the people on there seem to know their stuff and
there's loads of posts similar to the setup you're describing.
