NVIDIA FX 5200 S-Video Out with Ubuntu

Problem: S-Video out works but there is a small black frame around the entire picture.

Solution:

  • Install envy (sudo apt-get envy)
  • Install the NVIDIA FX drivers through envy
  • Change the settings by going to Applications -> System Tools -> NVIDIA Settings -> GPU 0 (Geforce FX 5200) -> TV-0. You can adjust the TV OverScan to your liking, I have it set to 14 with my 50″ plasma.
