So are you saying that I should use something else
instead of 640x480?  If so then what would you
suggest?

I know that my TV is capable of displaying a picture
which fills the screen without the top being slightly
narrower than the bottom since the normal antenna
input does so, as does the xBox boot screen.  I've
noticed that some xBox games have this resolution
problem while some do not.  I'm sure that there's some
setting in xorg.conf that will fix this but I am not
familiar enough with TV out to figure out what.

Please let me know if you have any ideas,
