Indeed you did see such remarks, and this turned out to be the clue that
put me on the track to a solution, which is (for the benefit of others
having trouble with NVIDIA GeForce 6600 and other cards with component
video outputs):
1) update to the latest NVIDIA drivers, which involves getting both a
new kernel module(s) and the actual driver package from NVIDIA.
2) Change the xorg.conf to read
Option "TVStandard" "HD480i"
instead of TVStandard Composite (or SVIDEO).
This seems to solve it. More problematic is the cheesy connection
method that the GeForce card uses to break out its outputs, but that's
beyond the scope of software (grin).
Thanks again,
Tb.
