You need to override defaults (TVs don't usually have DDC, such no automatic detection) for hsync/vsync. Add a "HorizSync" line to your xorg.conf: Section "Monitor" ... HorizSync 19.00-20.00 ... EndSection
I always seem to get hsync out of range errors trying to go this low. I guess my card can't go as low as necessary. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
