[mythtv-users] Video sync not working in TV out

I've just done a full reinstall of my Myth system onto new hard  
drives. All my hardware is the same otherwise. I'm running Debian  
Lenny with the latest NVIDIA binary drivers (169.12) on a GeForce FX  
5200. This is connected to my Sony CRT HDTV using a DMI-HDMI cable.  
I've used this exact setup before, and I backed up my old xorg.conf  
file and dropped it in place on the new system, so I expected at least  
the video output to work the same.

Now, when X starts up, the video sync seems wrong. The display  
vibrates vertically from the moment the NVidia logo is displayed. I'm  
just guessing that something changed in the nvidia driver between  
whatever version I was using two years ago and the one I have now. No  
clue where to start troubleshooting this though. If you want to take a  
look at my xorg.conf, it's available here:

Thanks in advance for any suggestions...
