This seems to solve it. More problematic is the cheesy connection method that the GeForce card uses to break out its outputs, but that's beyond the scope of software (grin).

If you're using the latest SVN, try disabling overscan in your Myth frontend settings (ie all overscan percentages to 0) or seeing if changing the aspect in Myth affects it. There seems to be something broken in the latest code with overscanning and displaying video at the wrong aspect - I've been seeing color bleeding (reds bleed, but mostly edges are surrounded by a gray-blue color, especially people's lips).
