Try increasing your horizontal sync to 80 and use this for a
modeline:

Modeline "1280x738_75.00" 98.07 1280 1352 1488 1696 738 739 742 771 -HSync +Vsync
> Modeline "1280x768" 79.50 1280 1344 1472 1664 768 771 >778 798 +hsync -vsync

cordially, as always,

Actually, the line above should be 1280x768, etc. But you shouldn't
even need a modeline. Try increasing the horizsync only.

Have you considered 1280x1024(a)75? That's what we use with the i810.

Hi,

the Bravia doesn't do 1280x1024...at least as far as I know but will
give it a try anyway as well as the proposed modeline.I tried many
combinations found scattered on the net and at this point I need to
'sleep on it'.

Will let the group know if that works.
thanks

david

Will give it another try, after an evening of debuggin, I realized that
the i810 driver would not output to the TDMS port(DVI) when starting
xorg(instead would output to unconnected VGA port)..., so I discarded
the tool as 'not resolving my issue'. Will give it another try tomorow
morning

Thanks
David

Have you tried adding a line to your device section to specify which output
you want. I had to do that to get my laptop with the new nvidia binary to
output to the built in screen instead of the external vga.
