It's likely not interlaced and you need the interlaced signal for the tv.
Most LCD and CRT screens nowadays are not capable of syncing down to the 15.625KHz of the TV-Signal. modeline "pal_768x576" 14.75 768 784 864 944 576 582 588 625 -hsync -vsync interlace # H 15625 [Hz], V 50 [Hz] modeline "pal_720x576" 13.875 720 744 808 888 576 582 588 625 -hsync -vsync interlace # H 15625 [Hz], V 50 [Hz] You can check the X-log to see if the card actually accepts the modeline and uses it. If you put only this resolution into the config it should either start with it correctly or drop out with an error. Then I would use an Oscilloscope to check the signals on the Scart-Connector to make sure you have what your TV needs. Maybe somebody from the electrical-engineering department at your university can help you with that. I had something like that running in the past, but since I don't have a TV anymore... ;) -sm
