[Gllug] xorg.conf for widescren lcd tv

[Minty]

Anyone had any success getting a widescreen signal via VGA to a
widescreen lcd tv?

Sony Vaio, Kubuntu Breezy.  It's only video out is VGA.
Sony Widescreen lcd tv, with a VGA input (also s-video, HDMI and scart)

Both support the same 1366 x 768 resolution - the laptop has a
widescreen display, and runs happily at that resolution out of the box
with Kubuntu.

Trying to use the TV as a second screen under xorg.conf.

At 800x600 (or any other sane 4:3 resolution), the TV is happy to
become a working 2nd screen [1].  But you then have to make the TV
stretch a 4:3 picture into a 16:9 format.  Which sucks.

At any widescreen resolution the TV gets the signal, but the picture
is totally un-watchable.  Hard to describe, but like it's trying to
fit a 1366 pixel wide line into 800 pixels, and thus 566 are wrapping
onto the next line.  Or the other way around.

Any ideas?
