RO> The GeForce you refer to above is an nVidia chipset and should work fine

RO> page for the Linux driver, to be certain.

RO> The two cards I've actually tried (and I'm happy with both) are:

RO> nVidia GeForce4 MX440-SE AGP Video Card with TV-out (sVideo and composite)
RO>          (lspci: nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 MX 440] (rev a3))
RO>    --OR--
RO> nVidia GeForce2 GTS 64 MB DDR 4x AGP Video w/TV-out (sVideo)
RO>          (lspci: nVidia Corporation NV15 [GeForce2 GTS/Pro] (rev a4))

RO> Got them both at www.compugeeks.com a few weeks ago. Both have sVIdeo out
RO> (though I use them with Composite).

Aren't  there  any  TV-Outs  that  support Component Video and Progressive Scan?
Composite  sucks,  SVideo is alot better, but RGB or even Component, why doesn't
that exists? (I think the all in wonder cards have it.. but no linux drivers :/)

Is  the  only  alternative a VGA->Component thingie? Don't even know if there is
such thing.
