I agree.

The PAL stuff comes from a patch that was posted here a few months ago.
I'm an NTSC guy so I can't test the PAL modes.  Did you try the
720x576Over mode?

I posted my xorg.conf that i use on the webpage above but i am an ntsc
guy, so i dunno if it will help you.

I fixed that in the newest version of the patch.
