It is almost correct. It seems, that the display has to be turned off
during vsync, for my TV to sync correctely. Therefore you should put
the 'sty VBLANK' after the 'lda #$00'.
I have tried that with your program and it syncronised fine on my TV.
Unfortunately your program seems to gain a scanline in some scrolling
positions. If you do an odd number of lines on PAL systems, the TV
looses the colour information completely. I haven't checked this, but
do you do a 'sta WSYNC' between the last kernel line and the line,
where you setup the timer for overscan? When my programs show this
problem, it is because I forgot the WSYNC, most of the time.
