 	Look further up in the logfile.  It should say something like "Not 
using modeline "ATSC-480-60p": blahblah".... Could be frequencies 
(although the monitor ones look fine), dotclock, no interlace, or the 
weird nvidia-specific restrictions on integer divisions by 8's in the 
syncs.  If the last issue, the logfile is specific about the problem.

 	If you want a D1 480i resolution (same 480i frequencies, 
DVD-friendly number of dots), search the archive for 'coryntsci'.  It's 
the modeline I use with my modulator doohickey.
