Hi,
Yes, I had this exact issue. I spent about 6 hours tearing my hair out with modelines, and googled everything under the sun. I tried the #xbmc-linux irc channel, and despite stating that I suspected the problem wasn't with XBMC itself, and that I'd tried googling and was looking for suggestions (ie, trying to show I wasn't a moron and had attempted to help myself) the extremely unhelpful person there just kept saying "it's not xbmc, it's your distro" and linking me to the bug for it, as if that wasn't the first google hit anyway! So yeah, not overly impressed with that, but hey, it's not like we pay for support is it?
Anyway... rant over. Your answer is here - At least, it was for me. Hope that helps. You might need to upgrade to 9.04 first, as I don't think there are 2.8 driver PPAs for 8.04.
