Suffer not the witch to live

I'm planning on building an HTPC, but in the meantime, I'm using my laptop (Thinkpad T40) instead. It is plugged into my HDTV via VGA. The laptop uses a Mobility Radeon 7500, which isn't great, but will do fine for now. I am running Media Portal and it is working great.

My only problem at the moment is getting the right resolution for my TV. I want to do 720p, but my adapter isn't showing it as an option. I am using 1360x768, so it doesn't quite fit. I tried using Powerstrip to force it, but the adapter just won't take it. Anyone have any suggestions?
