All GeForce cards are supported by the nVidia linux drivers. Though it
seems to be rather difficult to tweak the tv-out of the GF4 MX cards. nvtv
-the 'standard' way of setting over/under-scan etc.- doesn't seem to work
with those cards. Don't know about the 'newest' drivers nVidia though. I
have seen programs other than nvtv that should be able to do it by tweaking
the config driver files, never tried them.
