there are two scart versions, if your TV accepts the latest scart, it
can do S-Video over scart as well (my TV does allow me to input S-Video
using a scart converter). But I've tried Composite as well as S-Video,
and the color is the same, but S-Video is a bit sharper.

sounds much better than my result ;-)

hmmm, I thought the TV encoder ignores any modelines in the config? What
does your Xorg.log show when it comes to choosing resolutions?
