The driver is recognizing the card now.  I tried numerous things to fix my
problem...upgrading...uninstalling driver and reinstalling driver through
envy, synaptic and download and recompile from ATI/Nvidia directly.

Through multiple gyrations, I had a couple times where the proprietary
drivers listed the driver as in use, but I was stuck in low graphics mode.
I have the system truly using the driver now, so I don't want to mess with
it too much.

I'm going to shut down and carry my computer to a different TV that has an
Svideo input and see if will boot up and display with a direct (no
svideo-to-composite adapter) connection.

I'll post the result.
