I (as well as others.  Do a search of the archives and you'll see a 
bunch about 6 months ago.) use an AiTech Web Cable+ to convert my video 
card out to an S-video.  It works fine.  There are many that claim that 
the quality is slightly less, but it doesn't bother me and I found it 
simplier than making X work with the s-vidio out of a new card.
