Kevin,

Have you tried it with the setting "UseEDID" "FALSE" enabled? That
should force it to ignore what the EDID thinks your TV supports and
allow it to use your custom modeline. If that doesn't help, you can also
try adding "UseEdidFreqs" "false". Just the UseEDID one did the trick
for me but I've seen references to UseEdidFreqs before as well.
