Alternative: Buy a TV that actually works :p a real FullHD version that advertizes its correct modes
Well I just have to try fresh install and then dive into modifying xorg.conf if it doesn't help.
My friend doesn't have that much money, so that easy and smartest thing to do (new FullHD) is out of a question. I've never understood why on earth they made (and still make) TV's with that strange resolution. 1280x720 would be much better if 1920x1080 is too expensive.
Yes - though there are very few 1280x720 native TVs out there. ISTR that some DLP rear-projectors used 1280x720 units, and some 1024x720 plasmas (with non-square pixels) - but I'm not sure I've ever seen a 1280x720 LCD panel in a TV.
Loads of 1366/1360x768 models... Almost all HDTVs sold in Europe as "HD Ready" but not "Full 1080" or "Full HD" were 1366x768 (with a very few 1680x1050 or 1440x900 or similar odd ball models)
