Heh, maybe my original post was unclear, I have 2 of the cards, not a 
card with 2 composite outputs.  I didn't use any special modelines, I 
was incredibly impressed that it just worked under X.  I used it in a 
freevo box for arond 3 months, using X11 as the output for mplayer.  I 
decided to switch to MythTV because it has a better feature set than 
freevo and I bought another savage 2k card in anticipation of this. 
 However, once I installed MythTV I discovered that I required XV 
support in order to function and so I pretty much had to mothball those 
cards and go looking elsewhere for my TV support.  The second card I 
bought was slightly different than the first, but the TV output works 
great on both of them under X.  They are both generic Savage 2K cards 
with 64 MB of memory.  

If the Savage IX chipset will work under Linux for TV out and XV, there 
are cards with S-Video out for $12.85 at 
http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=ASVGB1N-8MTV.  

Here are my experiences with the various cards I have:
S3 Savage 2000 64MB Composite out - See above
ATI Radeon 7500 Svid + Composite - No luck.  Works in console mode but 
scrambles under X.  The atitvout program did not work for this card. 
Maybe with the ati.2 branch?
ATI Rage 128 SVid + Comp out, Comp in -- No luck, maybe with the ati.2 
branch?
ATI Rage II+DVD Svid + Composite -- WORKING!  See

NVidia GeForce3 Ti 500 -- TV-Out working with drivers from NVidia's 
website.  Black border around picture.
