Default ATI x700 Svideo out to TV Black and White Pictire

I just setup the Vista Beta and am having a weird problem. Keep in mind in
Windows XP what I am trying to do worked fine. I have my TV setup as my
secondary display. When I installed Vista and hooked this up the TV only
comes out in Black and White. Anybody else having this problem? I loaded
the latest Catalyst drivers and I am still getting the same results.

An S-video connectin reverts to Black and White if your graphics card does
not sense the proper impedence from the S-Video connection at the other this
can happen with a bad cable connectior or with some s-Video receiver chips
on TVs.
If you set up the MCE connection to not use Automatic to sense the
connection type and instead you tell it you have S-Video you should get your
color back.

If You're not using catalyst I cant say,but in catalyst under displays
manager tab,disable/remove tv,then have it check for displays again and then
eable the tv.By the way,how does the acceleration work under rc1?(overlay
direct3d)In beta2 it was broken.
