IIRC, you need to invert the h-sync signal and the video signal as well 
to display on composite. There is a jumper somewhere on the 8032 board 
that will allow you to invert h-sync but I used a CRTC register to 
invert the video signal.

I know I've done it on an 8032 to a cheapo LCD composite with one of Mat 
D'Asaro's boards, the jumper on the board, plus a kernal to invert the 
video-on signal and set the timing somewhere close to PAL.

cheers,

Rob
