Custom resolutions and timings work without probs here. I'm running two 
resolutions:

1152x864 @ 75Hz for normal work, watching divx/dvds
768x576 @ 100Hz for fullscreen TV viewing (receiver does not support scaling)

Until recently I only used xv, now xvidix or vesa/fbdev:vidix to drive the TV 
output of the gfx card.

To get XFree-4.2.99 radeon driver running with DRI you need recent kernel 
radeon DRM drivers (> 1.5.0). However they were somewhat unstable here, as I 
got X lockups from time to time. Don't know if this is fixed yet, you should 
give it a try. I turned to having DRI disabled -> no 3D hw-support.

I can't use ATI binary drivers at all since they completely disabled video 
overlay support which is needed for my TV card :-(
