[mythtv-users] Anyone have non-crapy svideo output?

I'm still struggling with some video output issues with an old GeForce
("nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000 AGP 8x]") and the nvidia
drivers. Among my challenges, lateral pixilation on movement (panning or
fast cars and base runners), and a failure of Xv to adjust hue etc.
I'm wondering is I should steal all or part of this config to try it. Here
is my current xorg.conf:
# Xorg configuration created by system-config-display
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "single head configuration"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Option "RenderAccel" "1"
# TV Out Setup
Identifier "Videocard1"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP-0"
Option "TVStandard" "NTSC-M"
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
#Device "Videocard0"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard1"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "800x600" "640x480" "480x360"
EndSubSection
EndSection
# end xorg.conf
The TV is a generic boob tube (not fair -- it was state of the art a few
years ago) and I haven't run any utilities on it to dump a mode line.
Except for the hue and pixilation, all is well, and I don't want to screw
anything up.
I've been around Linux a while, but I'm an apps programmer, so I'm a
little out of my depth here.
TIA,
