[ubuntu-uk] TV Out from Mythbuntu not in colour

 From the same PC, which already had Ubuntu 7.10 installed, when I boot 
into that old Ubuntu installation, I cannot find any option for the 
Nvidia control panel like I can in Mythbuntu. I want to test TV out in 
Ubuntu to find out if that will give a colour or black and white output 
from the same graphics card. I also have a PC running Windows XP with TV 
out on its Nvidia graphics card (which is similar to the one in the 
Mythubuntu PC) which gives a colour output on the TV. Both PCs are 
outputting their S-video via the same Scart switch to the same TV.

The Nvidia-glx-new driver is installed in Ubuntu, so where is the 
control panel for Nvidia?
