You are correct, it is indeed all four corners.

It is the only card I have with TV-Out.

I am not sure what vdpau is, (which means I probably do not need it, I
guess). I will do some studying today.

The TV is a JVC AV-32X4BA. I did a google search on it but didn't come
up with any specs that could tell me what the operating modes are.. I
have the instruction manual but they are not listed there that I can
see.

Here is my xorg.conf:

How many video cards are in the PC?
I understand 1, if so correct GeForce 8800 GTS to GeForce 9500 GT.
It also seems you are using a TV and a PC (or 2nd TV?) monitor?
