Sorry to get your hopes up, but notice I said "brief
correspondence." When I emailed for more details I never heard back. As
near as I could tell, it wasn't "modelines," but rather "resolutions." As
anyone who's tweaked modelines can tell you, they're not the same thing.
One can constructe a 320x240 "resolution" from a 1600x1200 "modeline" and
get an impressively underscanned result that's different from what anyone
else would guess.
In any event, a "720x480" resolution would be the first one to
try. As I said, I haven't had an nvidia card with tvout that doesn't blow
goats, so I haven't tested it too much.
