I think there are 2 separate issues here. If you write a driver for a video card, and you write it with in mind the idea that it will be used to drive a monitor, then very likely, already in that driver, you will limit the minimum H and V pulse width that user space can set.
The next level up is then the user space program, I use xvidtune myself in X.
So one should really look at the driver code first for any range checks etc, before concluding 'the card cannot do it'.
In the DVB-T case he probably did not need zero sync width? Not sure.
