Looks like I'm in the same boat. I finally got my card up and running this 
afternoon. Everything is just plug-and-play, and I've seen the system BIOS 
for the first time ever when connected via component video, and was really 
excited about that, but whenever Myth tries to display a show or when I try 
to play a movie file with xine, I get a bit of audio for a second and a black 
screen, then audio cuts out and the system just sits there.

I haven't yet tried switching back to VGA through my 9A60 w/the 6200, but I 
had no single-head issues when using my prior 5200 through the 9A60.

I'll have to try my 9A60 again first, but it looks like I'm back to that for 
now. Seems to be a bug in the nVidia driver, if you ask me.
