I cannot seem to get the component output from my Nvidia 6200 working 
correctly.

S-video is working but I have b/w when I use component.

With some versions of xorg.conf I got great definition and colour but 
incorrect resolution and lockups.

Does anyone have a similar hardware setup and a working component output?

xorg.conf has the following:-

    Identifier  "NVIDIA GeForce"
#   Driver      "nv"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
#       BoardName   "GeForce FX 5200"
#       BoardName   "NV28 [GeForce4 Ti 4200 AGP 8x]"
        BoardName   "NV43 [GeForce 6200]"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option "NvAGP"  "1"
        Option "RenderAccel" "True"
        Option "TwinView" "True"
        Option "MetaModes"                "1024x768, 1024x768; 800x600, 
800x600;"
        Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync"   "30-50"
        Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "60"
        Option "TwinViewOrientation"      "Clone"
#        Option "TVOutFormat" "S_VIDEO"  #orS-VIDEO #or Composite etc
        Option "TVOutFormat" "Component"  #orS-VIDEO #or Composite etc
#        Option "TVOutFormat" "S-VIDEO"  #orS-VIDEO #or Composite etc
#Next option did not start x
#        Option "TVOutFormat" "Composite"  #orS-VIDEO #or Composite etc
        Option "TVStandard" "PAL-G" #or NTSC etc
#Next option seems to lock up computer
#        Option "TVStandard" "HD1080i" #or NTSC etc
#        Option "ConnectedMonitor"         "CRT, TV"
#Next option did not start x
#        Option "ConnectedMonitor"         "TV, CRT"
