Hello 855gm users,

here is a possible solution to get the svideo-out working.

1. use i810 driver instead of the actual intel driver
2. add the following lines to the device section:

Option "MonitorLayout" "TV,LFP"
Option "Clone" "yes"
3. get nvtv with i855 patch from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=40865&page=4

To get color i have to click on xmode and then select the resolution i want.

If you have a black screen on video playback choose another video output. For me gl works great in vlc.

Hope this helps.
