I have a bit of experience with this and the old TNT. Up until recently
I was using the original Riva TNT w/ TV-out in a server. I found that
using the early 4x.xx drivers was hit or miss for TV-out. Sometimes I
could force it, others not.

Try the 44.03 Official Detonators (previous driver):

ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/44.03/

Those are the last ones I found with original TNT support in them. And
try using the "force Composite" or "force S-Video" along with proper
region type in the control panel. There's also an option for "My TV is
connected but I cant see it" or such, but I've never had to use it.

Also keep in mind that the TNT isn't sending a true S-Video signal, it's
sending a composite luma+chroma over both wires, not separate. This way
it can also serve regular composite with an adapter dongle. This may or
may not be a problem for the hardware you're using.

No big deal, but I just thought you might like to know its called s-video,
not s-vhs. s-vhs is a vcr tape format.

Actually, the S-Video connector was designed for S-VHS VCRs, to accomodate
the higher resolution, so in some parts of the world the connector is
actually called an S-VHS connector.

Well in some parts of the world, they have got the name wrong then. JVC
invented it all and its JVC who get to name the parts. The tapes are called
s-vhs and the video standard that goes with it is called s-video. End of
story.

Exactly: regular VHS carries a *composite* signal. S-VHS carries an
S-video signal so historicall S-VHS is also legitimate

S-VHS doesn't carry anything, it is an encoding for tape recording. Kind of
like calling a Firewire cable a "DVR" or some such.
