I' in runlevel 5 but I'm starting X with -logverbose=5 from the place
that starts X. I've got some modes in my log file but I can't see the
bits you're talking about. The nearest I get is this which has no
clock speed, +vsync etc::

(II) NVIDIA(0): Assigned Display Device: TV-0
(II) NVIDIA(0): Requested modes:
(II) NVIDIA(0):     "720x576"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes:
(II) NVIDIA(0): MetaMode "720x576":
(II) NVIDIA(0):     Bounding Box: [0, 0, 720, 576]
(II) NVIDIA(0):     NVIDIA TV Encoder (TV-0): "720x576"
(II) NVIDIA(0):         Size          : 720 x 576
(II) NVIDIA(0):         Offset        : +0 +0
(II) NVIDIA(0):         Panning Domain: @ 720 x 576
(II) NVIDIA(0):         Position      : [0, 0, 720, 576]
(**) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size configured to be 720 x 576

Is this the section of the log file I should be looking for? Could you
please post an extract from your log file so I know what I'm looking
for?

Thanks,
Phill
