I've used:
fbset/fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -left 18 -right 0 -upper 39 -lower 10 -hslen 46
-vslen 4 -xres 720 -yres 576 -vxres 720 -vyres 576 -depth 32 -laced false
-bcast true

for tv-out from my G400, using the framebuffer console rather than X.  You
can convert that to an X modeline (no, I can't remember how), but I don't
know how portable it is between cards (or even TVs!).

That's from MPlayer, BTW - a great video player.
