I'm running my Mythtv PC with a G400 Max, which connects to the Pal TV
via a homebrew VGA-Scart cable. X is running over the framebuffer
device. That worked very well for more than three years. I just upgraded
Lenny to testing and now the Xserver doesn't start anymore. It complains
about a modeline I need to run the TV properly:

Modeline "my-pal-32" 14.766 768 769 839 945 576 577 581 625 -csync

I read somewhere that newer X versions have some issues with modeline
but I'm sure about that. The sad thing is that it took me a long time to
find the proper setting and this was the only one that worked for me
correctly. The modeline is a X version of the setting in my fb.modes.

mode "my-pal-32"
    geometry 768 576 768 576 32
    timings  67723 106 1 44 1 70 4
    csync high
    laced false
    bcast true
endmode

Is there any way to fix that problem? By the way, linux-firmware is
installed if that matters.

Thanks in advance
Rainer
