Look for other docs. There are more than just the video tutorial.
One of the other ones is better. It's in a different directory,
sorry I forgot in which one. There was rumor that there is even
a spreadsheed somewhere to calculate the timing parameters.
Unfortunately I didn't see this mentioned in the docs (that I read).

The difference between interlaced and non interlaced is:
1. with interlaced calculate with twice the horizontal frequency
   (picture frequency). Make sure that this is not too high for your monitor!
2. the last two of the eight timing parameters have to be ODD numbers.
   (just increase them by one if they are not).
