[OT] - Windows Driver for s-video TV output?

Hi all,

I've hooked up my Saintsong Espresso to the TV via the s-video output.

After a bit of playing I've managed to get the screen pretty much
flicker free running at 800 x 600 and pal-i.

However the output on the tv either has a black border across the
bottom (standard settings 60Hz) or if I choice full screen from the
advanced option of the intel graphic card it's over sized and I can't
see everything that is being displayed.

I think this is due to the monitor driver not matching the tv's
characteristics in terms of the refresh rate etc. Is there a better
inf file to decribe a crt tv other than the supplied
microsoft 'generic tv', or a good reference for hand tweaking the
file?

Windows 2000 Professional
Intel 82810 Graphics controller using s-video output (not using the
vga output although I think it's still running)
Panasonic TX-21AD2DP CRT TV (old now, but better toys to spend my
money on)

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Alan.
