I have used the following XF86Config entry with a TV-frequency (fixed frequency, about 20 years old!) monitor: Section "Monitor" Identifier "Primary Monitor" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "TV-Freq" HorizSync 15.62 VertRefresh 50-55 # 480x300 @ 72 Hz, 48.0 kHz hsync Modeline "480x480" 19.5 960 1008 1168 1248 480 491 493 625 Interlace Composite Modeline "480x256" 19.5 960 1008 1168 1248 256 280 285 312 Composite EndSection The picture quality was very poor, but I believe this was a problem with the voltage levels required by this particular monitor; there was certainly no problem with sync. Sometime I will get around to building some buffer boards: this monitor has separate horiz/vertical sync inputs, but needs 5V levels on the R/G/B lines. I believe my TV's SCART connector is compatible with VGA output levels on the R/G/B, but it needs composite sync - so either way a small amount of external circuitry is required.
