I was about to commit 2 VT1625 patches. First is the one you need. It 
adds 720x480Under, 720x480Fit and 720x480Over NTSC modes (from Ken 
Huisman, Billionmonkeys.net). The 2nd adds 720x576 PAL mode. It was 
posted on the ML not too long ago by Daniel Ramsay.

Update to latest from trunk and let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Xavier
