Yeah, that was probably me... Connected from an Nvidia GF4 440MX to a Tosh 30HF83. Regular 1280x720 works fine over DVI too, as does 1184x666 (which I discovered has even less overscan than 1160x680). I was unable to get any of the 540p resolutions working (1920x540 or 960x540). Depending on the source material, I run at either 1920x540 or 1280x720.
1280x720 works fine for 480p and 720p video, but 1080i requires deinterlacing at that res and no matter what I do, it never looks quite right. I've tried a VGA to component adapter, and was able to get 1920x540 working with that, which the TV converted to 1920x1080i. At that res, 1080i looks great (as it is a native res).
Gordon32: Does your FX5200 actually run at 1080i? I was under the impression that nvidia cards were not able to support interlaced resolutions.
Anyway, here's my current modelines:

ModeLine "1920x540" 74.18 1920 1964 2012 2204 540 542 547 562 -hsync -vsync
ModeLine "1368x768" 80.29 1368 1440 1464 1768 768 769 783 804 -hsync -vsync
ModeLine "960x540" 37.29 960 976 1008 1104 540 542 548 563 +hsync +vsync
1368x768 and 960x540 are for my Sony HS10. The other resolutions are for my Toshiba.
