I have an NV card as well, which I will be hooking up as soon as I find
a long enough cable. Have you looked at nvtv?

Description: tool to control TV chips on NVidia cards under Linux
This is a program to control the TV encoder chips on NVidia cards under
Linux, in order to get tv-out with a wide range of resolutions and
sizes, including "overscan" modes. It does even work with the free nv
drivers.

involved your card:
