Well, downgrading to 8762 solved the problem! - TV is in full resolution
now! Through now it seems like my main CRT is refreshing weird. Vertical
refresh rate is still as before, but it more tiring to the eye...., smth
with screen redraw... Well, you can't have it all I guess :).

Thanks, Brian. I checked the settings you mentioned - have all of them in
place. Also confirmed by the X log that correct resolution is being
selected.
But interestingly I stumbled across the thread which mentions my problem:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=82141
Other people have the same problem (half resolution lost on TV-out /
interlace displayed incorrectly) with the particular version of NVidia
legacy driver: 9631 (this one is newer). The old one - 8762 - seems to
work
fine for people - will check it tomorrow:
----- QUOTE FROM THE THREAD ----
>> When I switched from 8762 to 9625 and every version from that point on,
TV out is no longer displayed in full interlace.
>> Instead of getting both odd and even fields, just one of the fields is
displayed for both fields and the result is a halving of the visible
resolution.
------ END OF QUOTE -------
What NVidia driver version are you guys using? I'm using 9631 for my MX
440
nvidia card and according to the thread this seems to be the problem.....

Are you sure you're using the right options in your xorg.conf file
?
I've got an older nvidia (iirc it's an mx400 32mb w/s-video out)
running nvidia's proprietary driver (not sure of the version) it
runs
freevo 1.7 fine.Aside form adjusting the overscan to make the
picture
fit the screen I didn't change a thing.I did use a preconfigured
xorg.conf on it I've been using for ages.The box it's in is a
setup
for my mom which I don't have access to unless I drive over there
(no inet).I'll post the relevant portions of my xorg.conf in the
hope it
might help.
Section "Device"

Driver "nvidia"
BusId "PCI:1:00:0"
Screen 1
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"

My guess is maybe you don't have the right option or resolution
set
for your TV if it's North American then you have to use the NTSC-M
option.From the nvidia drivers docs ...
o The "TVStandard" option should be added to your screen
section;
valid values are:
TVStandard Description
-------------
-------------------------------------------------- "PAL-B"
used in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Guinea, Hong Kong,
India,
Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and
Switzerland
"PAL-D" used in China and North Korea
"PAL-G" used in Denmark, Finland, Germany,
Italy,
Malaysia, The Netherlands, Norway,
Portugal,
Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland
"PAL-H" used in Belgium
"PAL-I" used in Hong Kong and The United Kingdom
"PAL-K1" used in Guinea
"PAL-M" used in Brazil
"PAL-N" used in France, Paraguay, and Uruguay
"PAL-NC" used in Argentina
"NTSC-J" used in Japan
"NTSC-M" used in Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa
Rica,
Ecuador, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico,
Panama,
Puerto Rico, South Korea, Taiwan, United States of
America, and Venezuela
"HD480i" 480 line interlaced
"HD480p" 480 line progressive
"HD720p" 720 line progressive
"HD1080i" 1080 line interlaced
"HD1080p" 1080 line progressive
"HD576i" 576 line interlace
"HD576p" 576 line progressive
The line in your X config file should be something like:
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
If you do not specify a TVStandard, or you specify an invalid
value,
the default "NTSC-M" will be used. Note: if your country is not in
the
above list, select the country closest to your location.
Hope this helps you out.
Brian
