I have a GTX 260.

Here's my "Screen" section:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "DefaultScreen"
        Monitor         "SamsungHDTV"
        Device          "Videocard0"

        SubSection "Display"
                Depth 24
#               Modes "1920x1080"
                Modes "1280x720"
        EndSubSection

        Option "metamodes" "DFP-0: 1280x720 { ViewPortIn=1280x720,
ViewPortOut=1045x675+120+15 }"
EndSection

It should be similar to what I pasted in the Wiki.  You basically have to
play with the ViewPortOut settings, reducing the resolution and setting the
pixel margins according to you television.

I have a modeline that forces my television to go to 1280x720.  I have my
reasons for this.  That is a lengthy and individual process (my modeline
won't work for you).  Check out

interested in that, otherwise disregard.
