actually I do have the right driver installed.  Below is the snipped of
my xorg.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "** NVIDIA (generic)                   [nv]"
    Driver      "nvidia"
    VideoRam    65536
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
    Option      "TVOutFormat" "COMPONENT"
    Option      "TVStandard" "HD720p"
    BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

I finally got a S-Video cable that I am going to try out tonight.  I
just do not know if s-video can do 1384x734.
