AFAIK VGA only supports prog. scan signals.

AFAIK all VGA signals are progressive, so im guessing not.

Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable
Keen on seeing how Madden NFL 06 looks playing on the flat-panel TV in your living room? We don't blame you! Made to facilitate 480p, 720p, and 1080i video output on TVs and displays that support VGA inputs, the VGA HD AV Cable is an essential purchase for those with an eye for aesthetics.

So now I'm confused. It sounds like this should work. Has anyone gotten 1080i to work using the VGA cable?

I have an older HDTV (a Pioneer SD532) that supports 480i/p and 1080i resolutions. 1080i works fine with component cables from my 360, but when I tried it with the VGA cable, the display went all funky and I had to go back to 480. I then googled around and found a page that said that only progressive resolutions were supported over VGA, so I figured that was the problem and stopped trying. But I wanted to confirm with the experts here that that is indeed the problem. Does 1080i work over the VGA cable?

i'm led to believe VGA is indeed a progressive anolog only channel now. not sure though...

First off, I'm no expert on what a VGA cable supports. I'm just sharing what I saw while looking through tech support for my own problem. This is a link to the page where it says it supports 480p, 720p, or 1080i. But above that it says it supports UP to 1080p. Isn't integrated better than progressive at the same pixel ratio?
