I'm not convinced it's as simple as the -2 theory. Running the VESA driver on mine, the driver thinks it's running at 1024x768 but the TV reckons 1026x769 (complete with annoying bright purple line for those 2 extra pixels!). The Intel driver has reverted back to completely refusing to work.

Current setup:
 xorg server 1.3.0 (Gutsy standard)
 intel driver 1 week old git checkout (9th March)
 BIOS 405.

I'm hoping to get hold of a DVI compatible PC monitor tomorrow on loan and then plan on having a play with the monitor and TV on different BIOS revisions to see if there is any difference there (assuming the monitor is happy enough with slightly off resolutions!)

If anyone can think of other tests of information gathering that would be useful please let me know.

Could there be something in xorg server 1.4.0 that's helping it? I could be wrong but of the working reports I've seen they seem to generally (if not all) be running 1.4.0 or above.
