I got the following numbers directly from the PAL signal specification: Horizontal Frequency = 15.625kHz Vertical Frequency = 50Hz Horizontal lines (total) = 625 Horizontal lines (visible) = 576 Horizontal Front Porch = 1.5µs Horizontal Sync Width = 4.7µs Horizontal Back Porch = 5.8µs Horizontal blanking period = 12µs Vertical Front Porch = 0.16ms Vertical Sync Width = 0.16ms Vertical Back Porch = 1.28ms Vertical blanking period = 1.6ms Nvidia restrict some of the values in their modelines to multiples of 8. Taking that into account this is the closest possible modeline for 720x576 to the PAL spec for an nvidia based card: ModeLine "720x576pali" 13.875 720 744 808 888 576 581 586 625 -hsync -vsync interlace Hope that helps.
