Try with this modeline, but i don't know if it works
# 800x600 @ 56 Hz, 35.15 kHz hsync
ModeLine "800x600"     36     800  824  896 1024   600  601  603  625


If it does not, you can try to guess the right modeline on these sites:

http://zaph.com/Modeline/

http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/faq/vga2rgb/calc.html

The second one seems to be more useful, it have some settings for PAL
modeline.

Let us know what modeline works.
