tv out / tvin view help needed


Hi. I've been using tvinview on my GeForce 4 128MB Ti4200 card for a weeks now. What I've been able to do is get the same output on my CRT and TV using 1024x768 resolution. Now what I really have to do is be able to run 1280x1024 on my CRT and since my TV doesn't seem to support 1280x1024 run 1024x768 on it. Even if the TV doesnt show the whole screen at a time. Has anyone had any success with that?
Here's my XF86Config-4 file:

Code:

Section "DRI"
        Mode    0666
EndSection
This displays 1024x768 on my CRT and TV. To try to get my CRT to display 1280x1024 I removed the 1024x768 mode from it's display section but it doesn't change a thing.
Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I changed the metamodes section to get it working.
