If you're using the VGA output, you don't want to set TVType at all, and Option "ActiveDevice" "CRT". Then you can use more modes. You may still not get down to 720x576 without setting VertRefresh and HorizSync manually for your monitor, and you won't get any lower than 720x576 50Hz non-interlaced i.e. 720x576p. My big flat-screen monitor won't do 720x...@50hz properly anyway, it gets recognised as 720x...@60hz and resizes weirdly. Here's a modeline if you need one: # 720x576 @ 50 Hz HSync: 31.25 kHz ModeLine "720x576" 27.00 720 732 796 864 576 581 586 625 -HSync -VSync Hope that helps.
