So I don't know what happened, but my xorg.conf stopped working again. I found a new trick to get it working, adding the following lines to the Screen section:

Option  "metamodes"         "CRT: 1920x1080 +0+0"
Option  "TVStandard"        "HD1080i"
Option  "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

Full xorg.conf can be found here.

Updated xorg.conf for MythTV

I updated my MythTV box for the first time in a while (to support the new SchedulesDirect program guide source). After the upgrade, the new 100.14.11 Nvidia drivers' 1920x1080_120i built-in modeline stopped working properly with my TV. I found a new modeline that works pretty much the same and updated my xorg.conf and all is good again. I've also disabled the glx driver as it was causing troubles with LiveTV and HDTV.

Other changes to my setup include using the builtin NIC (8139too driver) now that I have an ethernet jack near the TV (thanks, Steve :)

Here's the diff to xorg.conf if you just want the changes:
