Forcing a particular modeline ?

Hi

I have an old HDTV with 1080p and 720p. My 1080p display is alright
but I want to use 720p only. However, I get a black screen when I
force 1280x720 mode. My relevant lines in Xorg.0.log is included
below. I notice that there are 2 different modes

[  1730.971] (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1280x720"x60.0   74.44  1280
1336 1472 1664  720 721 724 746 -hsync +vsync (44.7 kHz)
[  1730.971] (II) RADEON(0): Modeline "1280x720"x60.0   74.25  1280
1390 1430 1650  720 725 730 750 +hsync +vsync (45.0 kHz)

My guess is that xserver-xorg-ati uses the first modeline which my
HDTV doesn't support somehow. I also notice that the second modeline
is the standard ATSC-720p. How do I force xorg to use this mode line
instead of the first one ? They have the same name!

Thanks
Toan
