I'm having some problems getting my TV output to work on my VIA EX15000G using the openchrome driver.
I get video on my TV, but it's slanty and off-colour (see attached photo).
The video is stationary: no scrolling horizontally or vertically.
Here is my attempt at an xorg.conf which is partially pre-generated and partially hand-crafted.
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us+inet"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "openchrome"
# Let's see...
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "ActiveDevice" "TV"
Option "TVOutput" "Composite"
Option "TVType" "NTSC"
#Option "VBEModes" "True"
##
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "ntsc_640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
What need I add to correct the picture?
Also, I'd like this machine to plug into any TV and have it work (like one would expect from a Wii or other TV-attaching device). Is this a pipedream?
Thanks,

P.S.
I added a monitor section to try to force, perhaps, the refresh rate.
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TV_NTSC"
HorizSync 30-50
VertRefresh 60
EndSection
And then added to the screen section...
Section "Screen"
...
Monitor "TV_NTSC"
...
EndSection
This just made the slantiness less slanty. Instead of two vertical splittings, there is one, down the middle.
Any ideas?
