03.21NVIDIA 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 install 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.
It should be “sudo apt get install envy”, but I still can’t find the package on Debian…
I need to switch S-video to 50 Hz ’cause my old-non-plasma-non50”-tv blinks all the time….
I’ll keep trying, thanks! xD

Hey dude! I finally got ride of it by writting a xorg.conf file from scratch with the nvidia docs… It was the PAL-G setting with my Spanish TV which solved the issue for me.
Thanks!
