Resolution change on ATI integrated controller for TV output

Hello,
I am trying to configure my x.org server to use the resolution 1024x576
(16:9 on a TV output), on an ATI integrated board:
0000:01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon
9100 IGP (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.: Unknown device 8107
I'm using the proprietary ATI driver (fglrx) and, although I couldn't
get anything to be displayed on the TV when a monitor was also there,
it works with resolutions 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480 when only the
TV is connected.
However, I get two problems (which may not be related):
1/ I can't manage to have 1024x576 (wide-screen ratio) to work at all.
I have tried various modelines that I found on different
forums/webpages, but it's always replaced by 1024x768.
2/ If I restart the server without rebooting, it always uses resolution
1024x768, even if the only mode in xorg.conf was 640x480 or 800x600,
and it ignores certain parameters (for example Load "vnc" --when I use
it--, which shouldn't have anything to do with the resolution).
I'm using X Window System Version 6.8.2 (Debian 6.8.2.dfsg.1-7
20050908031534 David Nusinow <dnusinow at debian.org>), kernel 2.6.12, and
fglrx 8.19.10.
This is taken from my xorg.conf (sorry for the length):

I have tried to comment/uncomment UseEdidFreqs, IgnoreEDID, and NoDDC,
but it doesn't really change anything.
Here are (what I think are) the interesting lines in the log file:

(==) fglrx(0): DPI set to (75, 75)
When it ignores the Mode entry in the screen section, the main
difference is that it says Virtual size is "1024x768".
If you've got any idea regarding these problems, please let me know.
(Perhaps the second problem might be a bug?)
Regards,
Bruno.
