Hey not to hijack your thread but I just purchased a Panasonic
TC-P50C1 50" Plasma. It has native resolution of the following:

1,049,088 (1,366 (W) × 768 (H)) - [4,098 × 768 dots]

The manual is located at http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/TCP42C1.pdf

I'm curious how I am supposed to determine and create the correct
modelines for xorg.conf. I'm using mythbuntu and there aren't any
modelines present in the current xorg.conf. It is currently only using
1280 x 720 and it seems to move around on me. Sometimes the menus
aren't quite on the screen and after I adjusted that using the screen
size tool (moving the arrows) I then got a dotted green line across
the bottom of the screen for half the duration of the movie I was
watching last night. It suddenly shifted at one point and the image
moved downward revealing the xfce panel at the top of the screen.

I figured getting the modelines created was a good next step.

I'm on the nVidia 185.18.36 using the Acer Revo as a frontend on HDMI.
