16/9 on tv-out with 7800gt

[JayRoe]

I've read a few posts stating that 16/9 resolution via tv-out isn't possible, but I am able to run 1280x720, 960x540 and so forth in Windows, so is there any way do the same in Linux?

The only supported TV-out modes are those documented in the driver README.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm fairly new to linux (ubuntu), can you tell me where to find the readme?

[netllama]

Its on the same page where you downloaded the driver.

I updated from the console, but I went to the readme here (http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-9746/README/index.html) and I couldn't find anything. :(

See:

I skimmed that page while browsing the readme, but I couldn't find the resolutions you mentioned.

[netllama]

The resolutions are restricted to those in the driver. You can view them by starting X with the following command and then inspecting your X log:
startx -- -logverbose 6

Thanks,
