I was able to get a pretty good resolution 1360x768 using the config
below.  I would like to get 1920x1080.  Can it be done???

Section "Device"
	Identifier	"Configured Video Device"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Configured Monitor"
	Option          "IgnoreEDID"
        VertRefresh     30-90
        HorizSync       20-150
        Modeline "HDTV-1360x768" 85.500 1360 1424 1536 1792 768 771
777 795 +Hsync +Vsync
        DisplaySize             320 180
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Monitor		"Configured Monitor"
	Device		"Configured Video Device"
	DefaultDepth 24
	SubSection "Display"
		ViewPort 0 0
        	Depth       24
        	Modes "HDTV-1360x768"
    	EndSubSection
EndSection
