Are modelines in Linux specific to the TV, the video card or both? 

Basically, I am having modeline issues trying to get my FX5600 to
output to my Panasonic PT-53x54 (53" widescreen HDTV) via a DVI - HDMI
cable - none of the ones I have tried on the web give good results.

I want to do the powerstrip thing but don't want to take my Mythbox
apart and install Windows. I have another PC with DVI out (running an
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro). Can I just bring it to my HDTV, hook it up and
use it with PowerStrip to get the modeline I need?

Also, on some of the modelines I try, the res appears to be smaller
than the display dimensions, so I get a weird scrolling desktop
effect, anyone know what causes this. my Xorg.0.log at one point
reported something like "virtual 1920 x 1080 desktop detected" (I
don't have that log anymore, so the message may not be accurate). It
looked like it did a 720x480 actual res, with a virtual scrolling
desktop of 1920x1080.

Thanks

Robin
