I have a Commell LV-667T, and am getting a decent picture (despite the  
extra border) using the "720x480Under" modeline @16bit to output a  
480P signal via the component out.

The picture gets messed up for me if I try any other colour depth, or  
the other 720x480 modes.

I think someone posted a patch to add some 720x576 modes a while back,  
but I don't think it was added.

Cheers,
Tim
