Your G400 was the last MGA card that had supported TV-out in Linux. Someone 
managed to get the FB TV-out working on the G450 and G500, though. Matrox has 
abandoned their attempts at making us Linux perople happy.

I had a G450 and got sick of the poor performance myself. I ended up getting a 
GF4-Ti4200, which has worked perfectly and reliably. The TV-out is very crisp 
over SVideo and I have Freevo running on the second head.

Now all I need is for mplayer to not grab my mouse and keyboard...
