Tried that too -- exactly the same effect.
I was checking the "normal" TV-Out yesterday, I've had a look at the SVHS port 
today, and it actually produces a picture, but it's badly out of sync 
(nothing recognizable there), tried with both PAL and NTSC outputs.

No, didn't try before.
I've just tried with 6.5.8.0, and it behaves the same as my patch for GIT, so 
it looks like my patch did the right thing and just isn't compatible with the 
hardware I'm using (Asus Pundit R350 barebone -- 9100IGP chipset).
Has anyone had that hardware working? Any hints on what may need tweaking?

And can anyone who has an earlier version working check if my patch works?

Several reasons -- first of all because if it has any chances of getting in, 
it'll get in after 6.6.3, so it should work with the stuff being worked on.

Second, post-6.6.3 GIT is the only version that doesn't barf if you throw 
1920x1080 videos at Xv, and I actually need those for a project.

I might have done it, depending on whether or not the patch works on hardware 
it's supposed to support.

Hope it's nothing serious... Get well soon!
