In the config file for X. On my Gentoo system it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Look for the line with 'Option "TVOutFormat"', it should be Device section
for the video card.

That means it's definitely not a hardware issue.
I suppose another possibility could be the mode that X is using. A good
place to start when looking at X configuration issues is the log:
/var/log/Xorg.0.log on my system.
