Craig,

  I'm not sure if there's a package, etc, that you can install on MythBuntu
to do this, but you can definitely do it by making some changes to your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file - by adding an appropriate modeline for your
monitor.

  Because as you see, the EDID data on Analog VGA doesn't always work that
well...
