I have a Sony Wega FD Trinitron (KV-36FS100) hooked up with a VGA to

correctly on theTV.  I spent several hours going through various guides
meant more for the HDTV models, but with no luck.  Mostly because I
don't understand video at all, I'm sure.  It looks the the refresh and
colors are good, the video doesn't roll or anything like that.  But it
is squished and repeated into 3 columns accross the TV.  If anybody has
some tips on what I need to put in my xorg.conf that would be greatly
appreciated.  I'll put what I have now up too.

If it is squished and repeated three times, then the refresh is *NOT* good. The TV is not syncing to the signal you are providing. It sounds like it's catching the vertical sync, but not the horizontal.

ModeLine "ATSC-480-59.94p" 23.916 640 664 736 760 480 482 488 525

The frequencies on this seem to be correct for 480p (23.916e6/760 = 31.468kHz = 2x 15.734 kHz = 2x SDTV). You might try appending one of these to the end of the modeline to see if you can convince the transcoder to change its sync to something the TV likes.
+vsync +hsync
+vsync -hsync
-vsync +hsync
-vsync -hsync


Also, check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and make sure you're using the ATSC-480-59.94p modeline... the other ones are NOT 480p. Since you're seeing three squished images, I'm suspect that you are using the 72p one.
