Would the jagged edges appear because the source was meant for 50Hz Interlaced, while the hardware is set for 60Hz interlaced? I had a similar problem on my nvidia tv-out device, and had to revert back to older drivers.
nvidia-drivers 1.0.7185, is the last driver that still support setting the tv-out device to 50Hz, instead of the default: PAL 60Hz. Any driver that nvidia released later on, doesn't seem to support tv-out @50Hz, no xorg.confsettings will work. My card is an old Geforce4 440MX, so the new cards requires later drivers :( I hope this maybe helps somebody.
