According to modesref in the wiki, --tvmode=hvfxsd should give a 
resolution of 960 x 540 at 25 fps.

In the past few weeks I have found that an increasing number of 
programmes have fewer modes available, as reported by --info.  In 
particular --tvmode=hvfxsd is missing.  dvfxsd is still present, but it 
gives a frame rate of 50 fps rather than the expected 25 fps.  This is 
still the case with the latest version 3.28.

I came across these articles.

Does anyone know any more?
