NTSC

I tried to use the following resolutions:
720x480Over
720x480Fit
640x480

All of which the X logfile seem to indicate are valid for my hardware
and are considered valid for the VT1625.  All give me crazy screens of
black bars and scrambled garbage.

I dont know what 720x480Fit is, it isn't documented in the man page.  Do
you know?

Bummer.  Well, I've got some hardware to test with and I'm a coder, but
I've got no experience writing X drivers.  Where would be a good place
to start looking around?

thanks,
