Trying to get 1360x768 TV out (HDMI) on Linux

Hey all,

I'm stumped trying to connect my MythTV box running SuSE 10.2 to my Samsung LNS-4051D LCD TV (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LNS4051D-Wide-Integr.... The Samsung's monitor says its optimal resolution is 1360x768. My MythTV box has a Geforce 6600 and I connect it to my TV with a DVI->HDMI cable. I have the NVidia drivers installed and they are functioning properly.

Mucking around with my xorg.conf I can get a maximum resolution 1280x720 which I believe is 720P. The display looks pretty decent but it's cut off from all four sides.

I tried a number of custom modelines but I'm stumped. My manual lists a ton of figures but I think I'm calculating it wrong. Here are the values from my TV manual:

Resolution: 1360x768

Horizontal Freq: 47.712

Vertical Freq: 60.015

Pixel Clock Freq: 85.800

Sync Polarity (H/V): +/+

With all this info it should be a cinch to calculate a proper custom modeline, but I can't seem to get it to work. Thanks in advance.

My xorg.conf

Not surprising. HDMI inputs usually only accept a smal list of resolutions/refresh rates. Usually only the PAL/NTSC interlaced and progressive resolutions + 720p, 1080i, 1080p. Any other resolutions such as 1360x768 are usually only supported through a DVI port if available or through the VGA port.
