Hi,
I am quite new to arch linux, however have used linux before (Ubuntu, Fedora, Slackware and had a go at LFS). I have a Radeon HD 4650 connected via HDMI (DVI > HDMI) to my tv. (BEKO PANACHE 26" (Ubuntu said it is a BEKO-VJAZ1 32")), I have tried the flgrx driver in ubuntu but could only get 1080i at 25hz, however in windows i had 1080p at 60 with overscan, which i then scaled down. In ubuntu i had audio as well. I tried using the x386-video-ati and radeonhd. I got a black screen with radeonhd and ati i could only get 1920x1080 at 25hz (1080i) (With about -5% overscan). However in arch linux i am not getting any look. My TV also supports VGA, however i can't get into a tty as i get out of range, when INIT starts. Basicly my tv reports a incorrect EDID and the ati drivers only give me 1080i. I think i might need a custom modeline but dont know where to start.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

[SOLVED\EDIT]
*facepalms at my stupidness*
I reinstalled arch linux and then installed XFCE. After that i went onto the AUR and downloaded catalyst-test and libcatalyst32. I then did a makepkg -s --asroot on both and when i went back into XFCE, after creating a xorg with (Xorg --configure and added flgrx to the Driver line) I went into the Catalyst Control Center (sudo amdcccle) (or su root | amdcccle) and went into the section called DTV (1) and went to the 2nd tab and clicked the check box next to 1080p at 50hz (PAL) and then clicked apply. After that i went into the scaling options and set GPU Scaling, and then on the dropdown i selected Aspect Ratio. After that i clicked apply and moved the slider for overscan 1 towards underscan. I then clicked ok, and to get the catalyst to save to the Xorg i had to go to Settings -> Display settings and change the resoloution to any one there, and then back to 1920x1080. Then i clicked apply which saved to my xorg.
Sound worked automaticly.
