Hi!
First thing: A great idea!

not to forget interlaced formats are still in effect for HDTV. I think you could recycle the basic idea behind my patch for HDTV as well.
I have connected my VDR box to my TV via a DVI-to-HDMI cable, set the resolution to 1920x1080 and let the graphics card do the upscaling instead of the TV, because the quality looks IMHO better this way. But here still the same problem is present, the refresh rate of the graphics card is not bound to the field rate of the incoming TV signal, so I can either disable sync-to-vblank and have tearing artefacts or enable it and have an unsteady framerate.
I wonder if your patch could be applied to a DVI/HDMI connection, too? Its a Radeon X850 currently with xf86-video-ati 6.6.3 and xorg-server 1.4.
Ciao
