That works. Thanks! This is really a work-around though. HD480i doesn't
recognize any valid modes and falls back to nvidia-auto-select which sets
800x600 from an nvidia mode. Manually defining modes doesn't work either
(for NTSC-M or HD480i). So NTSC-M doesn't have 800x600 and HD480i gets to it
through the back door. Guess I should push the issue on the nvidia mailing
list. Thanks again for the help!
