Do you want to generate PAL scanrates - to drive a composite monitor or a
TV, or are you just looking for a 768x576 mode for your monitor?
If its the former, I use:
Section "Monitor"
# Mode suitable for driving bt869.o 720x576 mode
Identifier "PAL TV via BT869"
VendorName "Unknown"
ModelName "Unknown"
HorizSync 30-40
VertRefresh 45.0-55.0
# DisplaySize 426 320
Mode "720x576-BT869"
DotClock 27.5
HTimings 720 744 800 880
VTimings 576 581 583 625
EndMode
EndSection
(well - that's 720x576 actually).
Incidentally, I also have a patch for the bt869 driver in the lm_sensors
package that will program the bt869 correctly to push this out to a
TV/composite monitor.
