Sorry, I was distinguishing it from the RGB and DVI outputs of the video
card.  The overscan function in the nVidia video card only worked on the
card's TV output which I erroneously called S-video.  This applies equally
to composite and component.  It did not work on the RGB or DVI outputs.  I
should have been more clear.
