I have not managed to use the open source driver to enable the TV-Out of the
5200 card. So I am using the proprietary driver. On some GeForce cards I
have had to disable opengl to make it work, but I have never had strange
scaling (I have installed frontends on two 5200s and on two GeForce4
MX440s). I have no experiene with XVMC.
