   The Nvidia GF FX5200 has a standard monitor connector and an S video one. In    
   Windows (where I first used it - to prove it worked) when you go    
   Desktop>properties>settings, you can change which screen to use.   
   So to load Ubuntu I started with the normal monitor, then when everything    
   loaded OK unplugged the monitor and on next reboot it automatically used to    
   the S video TV without me having to select it.   
   Though I have noticed since one seems (so far) to have to have the TV AV    
   selector switched to that input otherwise the screen stays blank.   
      
   I had to bump the screen font sizes up to 16/18 and this has pushed some    
   application windows 'OK' & 'Cancel' buttons off the bottom of the screen but    
   otherwise it all works well.   
      
   Now to get wireless WPA working so I can connect to the net :-)
