That would be 576i in my case, but yeah, I have. I also verified that 
the VGA was interlaced on my monitor which barely managed to synch the 
signal
although it didn't look (or sound) too happy about it. :), but the 
interlace-keyword had no discernable effect on the TV-out. I think my 
solution may be
to get a new card. It's pretty crappy even by 5200FX standards. The VGA 
connection is attached by a ribbon cable and the signal quality on it is 
awful.
