SVGA over HDMI at 38 Hz refresh

This one monitor of mine (Samsung s32d850t ) seems to accept crazy low refresh rates...
It's letting me do 800x600 with 250 MHz P2 clock, resulting in 38 Hz refresh rates.
The other monitors I have require vertical refresh to be very near 60 Hz.

The display is 1280 x 720. My image (actually, yours) is 700 lines long, so I added 10 extra top and bottom blank lines.
I see where you have the base pins set. How many I/o pins are required? Looks like only 3 in your code.
Is there a pin connector diagram anywhere to hook up an HDMI connector.
There may also be a way to reverse the output order (for connectors on reverse side of board etc)
There are 8 pins involved.
when you see this expression "#hdmi_base + 7<<6" it means affect pin[hdmi_base], plus the 7 pins above it, all together.
I just downloaded the spec sheet to see what it oficially says ... alas, it provides no data for sync ranges.
Trust but verify is applicable to data sheet claims. I learned that the hard way when trying to find replacement monitors for early medical imaging systems. That was a learning experience in magnetic deflection circuitry, scan linearity, video timing and signal levels, phosphor decay times, and other esoteric goodies.
