Not much help I'm afraid, but for what it's worth, I've got the same
problem (FX5500 card but should be similar to the 5200). I also see a
picture that is "bent down" towards the right hand edge of the TV. I
suspect I just need a good mode line for my Sony TV (but I don't have
the exact model number handy here at work, it's something like
KV-??55V). I've Googled  for my TV model but haven't found anything yet,
so I'm still tweaking.

Using TVOverScan of 0.70 helps considerably, but the picture is still
bent down a little on the right and the OSD still goes slightly out of
the picture.
