I've got an Nvidia 5700LE-based card so presumably that will work
assuming the drivers support 480i.

I am just looking for *any* solution. It doesn't have to be component,
but the S-Video output on my card is completely unacceptable so I do not
consider it an option.
Thanks for the info. I might just have to try this.
