I have a similar setup, though my tv has a physical resolution of
1366x768 it only allows up to 1360x768 over the vga in and only tv norms
over hdmi, you might need to check your manual to see what resolutions
it will do.
For the Modeline you should use gtf which comes with xorg like that:
ie. gtf 1360 768 60
That is the only modeline calculator that ever worked right for me.
It might also be necessary to check for the polarity, which I needed to
change in my modeline.
Here it is just for completeness sake, maybe it works for your tv too, if
not following the above steps should put you there.
You could also try it with a smaller resolution first, just to be sure
it works at all.
Hope that helps.


Cheers,
