twinview & those DVI->HDMI cable

hi folks,

i have twinview going perfectly in arch and everything is dandy.  but i recently gave away the vga cable and got myself one of those DVI to HDMI cable and currently using it to connect the pc to the lcd tv that i have.  i can still get twinview going but, the problem is that i can only get a resolution of 1280x720 on the lcd tv, which is not the native resolution of 1360x768.  is there an option i can override or a workaround of some sort?  of will i just have to use those vga cable?

thanks in advance. and here's the content of the xorg file
