I've tried switching between NTSC and PAL using 'xrandr --set
TV_FORMAT PAL /NTSC'
And my screens flash and seem to reconfigure, but an error message is printed,
and more importantly the output on the TV stays the same.(At leas I think so..)
Whats up with that? (I would post the error, but I'm currently not at home..).

Also, if the timings are fixed, then this could 'simply' mean that my
TV (which is rather old) is 'not-compatible'.
If that is so, how the hell does the windows driver 'manage'?

Great work with the ati-drivers by the way, I wouldn't want to be
without them anymore :)
