Hm, looks like I've looked at the wrong tgz, sorry for the mess ;-)

Yep, logs good. We also seemed to parse the edid correctly.

Yeah, unfortunately Peter's interlaced patches have issues still on
Sandybridge. Meanwhile you could try out all the modes the kernel detected
from the edid with xrandr (also see whether picking a different refresh
rate with --rate changes anything). If any of them work correctly (instead
of the cut-in-half or tiny screen), that might be interesting to know.

Maybe also attach the raw edid, you can find it in /sys/class/drm/*/edid
for your TV.

Thanks, Daniel
