And my 8400GS refuses to allow xvidtune to tune anything.

But the custom modeline things sounds interesting.  I've heard however
that when TV-out is in use, modelines are all ignored and only a small
set of modelines internal to the blob are used.

Can anyone who actually owns an 8400GS (or other 8x00 card) give more
specifics?
