you might try making sure that in your xorg.conf file, you have:

        Option      "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
        Option      "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"

i had the same issue when i realized my projector, which is HD capable,
woul donly accept HD input on the component connections, not the svideo.
if i tried HD over svideo, i would get black and white. check the
limitations of your tv.
