Ubuntu - problem with S-Video output with NVidia 6200

[Striker]

Hi there,
    I have a NVidia 6200 with tv output. It is connected to my TV via S-Video. My computer is dedicated as a media center and has no monitor plugged to it, only the TV.
   
    I can see the output on the TV, but the color are really weird. Kind of all pinky. I had the same problem under Windows and had to specifically select the S-Video option in the NVidia panel from the driver to get the correct output.

    I have tried numerous things under Ubuntu in the xorg.conf file (SVIDEO output type, for example), without any luck.

    I was really impressed by the video of LinuxMCE, great work. I want to try it to see if it can replace my Windows MCE. Anyone can help me get the correct color output on my TV?

Thanks

Do you have the nvidia drivers installed?

I have the drivers that was installed by the Ubuntu installation. I haven't change those, I will try to install the drivers from nvidia.com.

I'll keep you posted,
Thanks

LMCE has nVidia's proprietary drivers already bundled and should automatically use them.  AFAIK, only these drivers implement XComposite, and teh open source nv drivers Ubuntu uses by default don't work very well for media playback.
