I would love to know the answer for that as well.  I have a 4:3 HDTV that
accepts 1080i or 480i.   (It does not accept 720p so I don't mind outputting
those shows as 1080i).  I do need to figure out how to switch it to 480i for
SDTV shows so that they fill the whole screen.  I think it is possible if I
look at Jarod's xorg.conf that uses different modelines for different
modes.

I haven't experimented with that yet.  Of course, he isn't using the
tvstandard "hd1080i" in this xorg that I am so it may be a bit more
difficult than I realize.  Hopefully, I'll get a chance to try that this
weekend.   If I learn anything, I'll post it here.

My TV only has component so DVI isn't an option.  (I assume that most of us
that are using the 6200/6600 component out are in that situation).
