Hi Dave,

Yep, I have a Zenith plasma which is just a rebranded LG. and my VGA will
only do 1024x768.  I have mine hooked up via DVI-HDMI at 1280x720.  Have
horrible overscan. I am using the auto modline in xorg.  I'm sure I could
mess with a custom modeline and help with the overscan, but I just adjust it
in myth itself and it looks good.  Only use that tv for myth anyway so i'm
not too concerned.

Chris
