Did you try explicitly setting the TVOutFormat to SVIDEO in your
XF86Config file? I recall having crappy colors until I forced it to
svideo. This is from /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0:
o The "TVOutFormat" option can be used to force SVIDEO or COMPOSITE
output. Without this option the driver autodetects the output format.
Unfortunately, it doesn't always do this correctly. The output format
can be forced with the options:
Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO"
or
Option "TVOutFormat" "COMPOSITE"
---
I actually have it in both my "Monitor" section and "Device" section.
Not sure which is correct. Hope it helps!
