great, thanks for the response.  once i have the tv connected and
working i'll post working modelines to the wiki for future reference.

here's a list of modelines that was put together by someone at AVSForum:

Modelines ready-to-go for native HDTV displays

If you have a native HDTV display, here are the modelines for you,
without you having to build your own. (These modelines were taken from
a post at avsforum.com by Jason Pearce.)

i found this list in a great (slightly outdated) article by Brandon
Beattie located here:
http://www.linuxis.us/linux/media/howto/linux-htpc/index.html

i'm not sure if that article is linked to on the wiki, i'll check and
add it if it's not already there...
