Hrm... good point. :/  Dunno where I got those settings, but they were
copied from some howto or other that Google turned up; guess I shouldn't
take modelines from Google without, oh, *reading* them...

My Xorg settings now look like this:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "Toshiba TV"
        HorizSync 30-68
        VertRefresh 50-120
        Mode "720x480"
          # D: 34.563 MHz, H: 37.244 kHz, V: 73.897 Hz
          DotClock 34.564
          HTimings 720 752 840 928
          VTimings 480 484 488 504
          Flags    "-HSync" "-VSync"
        EndMode
        Option "DPMS"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        [...]
        Modes   "720x480" "640x480" "320x200"
        [...]
EndSection

And after a clean reboot, the X display looks perfect.  (Before rebooting,
mythtv was screwing up the resolution every time I exited out of "watch tv";
the resolution could be fixed with "ivtvfbctl -s 1440 -t 480 -x -55", but
that's obviously not a very good answer anyway, and no longer does the right
thing post-reboot.)  The total X viewport on my TV actually comes in under
640x480 and is offset a bit from 0x0, but that's easily dealt with in the
mythtv interface, and everything else (including fullscreen DVD playback)
does the right thing with no fuss.

Thanks for the cluebat, John.

Cheers,
