Yeah, I may well end up using vdpau, but I want to have the 576i
option in case the TV can do a slightly better job - or not so
slight maybe.

My sill Panasonic wont handle 50Hz via VGA either!! But it should be
fine via HDMI. It is a 1290x1080 native resolution screen and overscan
can be turned off. You mean 1080p at 50Hz, don't you?
